Why is spell check not finding words that exist?

more options

Why is spell check not finding words that exist? It also can't guess the right word despite having all of the correct letters. Why is it working so poorly?

Sexualizes

Apparently not a word. I am seeing red squiggles.

But the option I am given are Serializes, and Equalizes.

It's not seeing the word that does exist. Sexualize. It actually doesn't accept that either.

Sexual is the word I am given as a correct option.

I don't know what is wrong. But your spell check isn't doing spelling or grammar. I could forgive one. But it's failing on both tasks.

Like if I type a word incorrectly lets use "constitttuiton" That's wrong.

Yet, Constitutions is my first option, not Constitution. No extra s. A bunch of t's. But why does it assume I mean plural? Not just the regular word?

It's not understanding tense, or context. Idk. I simply know it's broken. Please fix it.

And yes I've done all the "troubleshooting" provided. Aka uninstall and reinstall the dictionary.

I think Firefox still uses an open source spell checker called Hunspell (https://github.com/hunspell/hunspell), so it's never completely clear whether a software problem in the "upstream" library will get fixed in Firefox or needs to wait for a fix from Hunspell. I'm not sure who is responsible for the actual dictionary.
