Hi. I've downloaded dictionaries and languages, the check spelling option is enabled in the browser settings. However, browser doesn't want to do it automatically. I have to manually enable it with RMB context menu (and re-select languages) for each website individually. Moreover, when the page refreshes, spell checking turning itself off again in RMB menu (but stays enabled in browser options). 

  Is this really how it's supposed to work?

Managed to kinda solve it with AI help. Still working weird but acceptable. about:config -> layout.spellcheckDefault -> from 1 to 2 Surprised not to see such setting in basic options though.
