Spell Checker still does not work even with multiple dictionaries and language packs installed and enabled, plus "Check your spelling as you type" ticked
Title,
The option to switch languages is also not present in the right click menu (see attached image)
I'm really unsure how to figure this out so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

You only need to install a dictionary for spell checking as shown in "about:addons -> Dictionaries", a language pack is used to translate strings in the user interface.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages sub menu. At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
- open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
The spelling checker is enabled if [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a checkmark.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
- Settings -> General: Language and Appearance: "Check your spelling as you type"

You can look here for dictionaries:
Note that for spell check you need a dictionary. A language pack provides string translations for the user interface.
You can check in about:config whether layout.spellcheckDefault is set to 1 (multi-line) or 2 (single-line).
The screenshot shows a normal context menu and not the context menu of a text area or content editable element.
You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in Inspector with this element selected.
