This was it.

When I right clicked in a text area, I didn't see the "Check spelling"
option, but I did see "Add dictionaries..." which brought me to the
addons.mozilla.com Dictionary & Language Packs site[1]. I installed
the US English pack and now spell checking works as expected.

I had no clue I had to install the language pack myself. Isn't that
portage's job?

Thank you so much for that pointer!
Mike
