They're stored in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.*/dictionaries (which is a symlink to the system dictionaries).

I've just done a change in ubufox to set localized defaults for the spellchecker.dictionary preference, so that users get the correct default dictionary depending on their locale. (In the longer term, this is probably best provided elsewhere, eg, by specifying a localized value in chrome://toolkit/global/intl.properties and setting the preference in firefox. However, this would require modifying all of the language packs, and ubufox currently provides a means to implement this all in one place).

However, it currently doesn't work because that prerefence doesn't support localized values, so I'm just testing a patch for that which I will send upstream shortly.
