I was excited to see that Firefox had support for Canadian English, however the dictionary seems to be missing numerous words and I get spelling errors for words like "lasagna."

Is this a bug or is the dictionary just barely populated with words and missing a tremendous amount?

You can add missing words to persdict.dat in the Firefox profile folder via "Add to Dictionary".

Note that you can have multiple dictionaries enabled at the same time for possible words that are in another English dictionary.

The fact that so many common words are "missing" is the part that's frustrating. I had to add "missable" today, along with two other words in the Oxford & Merriam Webster dictionaries. Spell check doesn't help much if it doesn't know the majority of prefixed and suffixed words...
