No, it doesn't exist, but shouldn't it? I've found that when I write prose in Firefox, I almost invariably ignore the redlines. Why? Too many false positives. Technical prose, which is usually what I'm writing, is littered with domain-specific terms that no spellchecker will ever consider valid. Obviously you can help your specific spellchecker by adding words to the dictionary, but that can be a lot of work, and seems like it could easily be automated. Why doesn't someone do this?
And no, this isn't a Firefox-specific issue. But probably 85% of my prose is drafted in Firefox, and most of that remaining 15% is drafted somewhere that doesn't have redlining (iPhone, Outlook, etc.).
