LibreOffice is open source, and uses Hunspell. Here is how the three word lists in the earlier comment I linked to do in that.
1. On the list of words Firefox gets wrong that I've reported but haven't yet been fixed, LibreOffice gets them all right.
2. On the list of words that I indirectly reported quite a bit earlier that Firefox now gets right, LibreOffice gets one wrong ("heliocentrism", which Chrome also gets wrong, and MacOS gets right).
3. On the list of words that Firefox gets wrong that I have not yet reported, LibreOffice gets them all right.
I don't call Firefox's terrible spelling inexplicable because Google and Apple and Microsoft do much better. I call it inexplicable because LibreOffice does it much better (about as good as Google and Apple and Microsoft do it).
