Only my native Russian language is available for spell check, no matter what language packs are installed. I have same problem for a long time on Firefox Browser and Firefox Developer Edition (now on 94.0.1 and 95.0b3 respectively) with different Mozilla Accounts, so I guess problem is platform specific.

Please help to find direction to dig to  : )

Note that for spell check you need a dictionary. A language pack provides string translations for the user interface.
