When I type Uvs, it shows up spelled wrong (red squiggle) . When I RMB, UVs (the correct way to spell it) isn't an option. Can I add it?

With words like "vrey" Firefox knows it's supposed to be "very" and when RMBing to correct, "very" is one of the options to correct the word. I use the word UV a lot. UVing, UVed, UVs and I frequently misspell "UVs" as "Uvs". When I RMB to correct Uvs, UVs isn't one of the options.

Is there someplace I can edit this, or add to dictionary when it IS spelled correctly?

Thank you

I can type UVs and add it to the dictionary, but Firefox doesn't show that as a suggestion when I type Uvs (it shows various other things), so that seems to be a limitation of the custom dictionary.

Maybe there is an add-on to substitute preferred spellings/capitalizations?
