Added a company name as a word to the dictionary, but the dictionary won't catch my most common typo of it.

I added a company's name to the dictionary in Firefox, but Firefox can't seem to catch the misspelling I generally use and therefore doesn't correct it. When I right-click on that name it comes up with other words and not the one I added to the dictionary. Is there any way I can do this so I'm not accidentally sending e-mails to them with the error? I have both the English US dictionary and check spelling as I type enabled. I'm running Firefox on a Windows 10 based laptop.

The Firefox spelling checker will only offer words that are stored in the currently selected dictionary and unfortunately doesn't suggest words you added yourself to your personal dictionary (persdict.dat in the profile folder). Words you added will merely prevent Firefox from flagging them as misspelled.
