Firefox is correcting my (swedish) spelling when I type e-mails, but seems to be correcting it in english, which makes every swedish word marked red?

Firefox is correcting my spelling when I write (for example) e-mails, but it corrects in English, and I write in Swedish. So every word is marked red. This problem does not occur when I use Safari.

Have changed to only Swedish in Firefox/Preferences/Content/Languages. Does not work.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== All the time

Sinds de laatste update van FF staat bij mij de taal in het e-mailblok steeds automatisch op Modern Frans. Voorheen was dat de taal naar keuze, voor ons Nederlands, of de laatst gebruikte taal. Wij corresponderen in NL, Duits, Engels en Frans, maar verreweg het meest in Nederlands. Daarom willen wij niet steeds eerst de taal opnieuw moeten instellen. Dat moet nu bij elke nieuwe mail. Er is een herstel-update geweest, maar die heeft geen enkele verandering gegeven. En ik kan nergens iets in FF vinden waar de taal naar voorkeur kan worden ingesteld.
