If you control click on a selected word that is misspelled, the suggested spelling list does appear.  The "bug" here is that control clicking on a word doesn't select it, as it does in Mail.  FF doesn't have this feature, but we ought to add it.

I believe there is another Bugzilla bug for this, but I can't find it at the moment.
