Firefox spell-check dictionary switches to incorrect language when starting compose mail in Gmail

I have Firefox 11.0 with dictionaries for Lithuanian and Russian languages installed. It seems that no matter what dictionary language is selected, after I start composing mail in Gmail, it switches the dictionary language to Russian (it changes the spellchecker.dictionary property).

Steps to recreate: 1. Say, the dictionary language is set to Lithuanian in some way (the spellchecker.dictionary property is "lt") 2. Restart Firefox 3. Open Gmail page (spellchecker.dictionary is still "lt") 4. Start composing new mail - this is when the spellchecker.dictionary property gets changed to "ru" (there are other, more complicated scenarios, when this happens, sometimes it is even enough to reload the Gmail tab)

Firefox general.useragent.locale property is "lt-LT", Gmail display language is "English-US". I don't know what other settings I should check. Of course, I could uninstall Russian altogether, but I do need it sometimes, so it would be nice to have, but not as a default language every time I open my mail.

I have found a similar bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=717433 , maybe this is related.
