Can Firefox guess the input language being used and change spelling dictionaries automatically?

I have three input languages and their dictionaries enabled in Firefox. However, when I start typing in Spanish, the whole text will be underlined as having spelling mistakes because if the dictionary is set to English. I am constantly writing in either English, Spanish, and/or French, and find it annoying to have to change the dictionary manually. Is there a way that Firefox can detect the input language being used and change the dictionary automatically?
