This is a plugin that allows to use the native SpellChecker of Firefox in CKEditor thanks to the Write Area extension. It doesn't provide any button for the toolbar, the editing area will show the red underlines for misspelled words and in the context menu there will appear the suggestions for that word.
This plugin will work only with Firefox and you must have installed the Write Area extension as that's the way to ask Firefox for the suggestions.

Extract the contents of the zip in you plugins directory, so it ends up like
this
ckeditor\ ... images\ lang\ plugins\ ... geckospellchecker\ plugin.js docs\ ... skins\ themes\
Now add the plugin in your config.js or custom js configuration
file:
config.extraPlugins = 'geckospellchecker';
Every user of your CMS will have to install the Write Area extension if they want to get this feature.
This extension is specially useful in controlled environments where you can be sure about the browser that the users are running and you can ask them upfront to install the extension (or maybe install it as part of some automatic deployment). In some environments, like enterprises, using an external site to send all the data to be spellchecker might be a no-go from the start, so this plugin provides a way to use the spellchecker available at their own browser.
Now empty the cache of your browser and reload the editor, the spellchecker of Firefox should take care of the rest.
