I have tried troubleshooting mode and a clean profile with no addons.

At least on YouTube, I've noticed this issue for several months.

Make sure you have a dictionary installed (not to be confused with a language pack).

If a third-party add-on dictionary is (now) needed for this feature, why is that not mentioned in the settings? Why did it work before and not now?

This is a better link for downloading dictionaries:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

Download and install the en-US version of Firefox to get a built-in US dictionary. Other locales may lack dictionaries for licensing reasons.
