If you are using a version of Firefox other than the English / United States version, you may need to install a spell check dictionary. If you already installed the correct dictionary for your localized version in a previous version of Firefox, maybe it didn't get updated after 5.0.1 was installed.

You can re-install that dictionary from here:
