Running aspell from the command line confirmed that it had to problems with the Yankee spelling, so Firefox must be using its own dictionary, instead of aspell. I distinctly remember an old thread which discussed a push to get all apps to use the system aspell dictionary, where possible.
Looking around, I found an old article from 2006 which claimed that the roadblocker to Firefox integrating aspell is aspell's GPL license:
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/016618.htmlHowever, the aspell RPM right now tells me that it's "LGPLv2 and LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+ and MIT". Looks like aspell's license has change since then. I think it would be nice to review the subject of getting Firefox integrated with aspell.
