No Spellcheck available - language submenu not working

Hi all,

on two different PCs running windows 10 I am using Firefox 60.0 (64bit). My standard language is English and I added German and french for spell checking as well. Both languages are properly installed but in the submenu these languages are not displayed (see also attached gfx) - who can help?

Make sure you installed the dictionaries.

Installing a dictionary add-on will add a new language option to your Firefox spell-checker, which checks your spelling when you fill out Web forms. Language pack add-ons change the language of the entire application.
