Anyone else seeing this Firefox spell-checker weirdness? [View all]

I rely on the spell-checker as much as the next engineer which means it's pretty much indispensable.
With my recent upgrade to 9.0.1, I've started seeing words I knew were spelled correctly, such as 'color' flagged as incorrect. Well, it didn't long to discover that the dictionary had changed to UK English. I thought that that was a little weird so I changed it back to US English and things were fine until it happened again. And again. Now it seems like I'm having to reset it several times a day and it's gotten so bad that now, when I see a word flagged, I must first check to make sure it's using the correct dictionary.
Before I dig deeper like rooting through the about:config file or filing a bug report, I just wanted to first see if anyone else is seeing this.
