Can Runing Firefox Sync Temporarily Prevent Spellcheck Options from Appearing In The Right Click Context Menu?

When I right click on an underlined misspelled word the context menu doesn't include any spellcheck options or even "Turn On Spellcheck" in the context menu. Under Options>Advanced>General I have "Check Spelling As I type" turned on. I see lots of Tab options in the Right Click Context Menu but nothing about spellcheck. I do have English /American USA as my default dictionary.

As I was typing this, Spellcheck started working again! So I have rephrased my original question. I was running syc with my Android WiFi Tablet while the problem occurred. Now that sync is finished, Spellcheck is working as expected again. Is this something that should happen or some sort of network anomaly?

Thank you,
