Actual results: Firefox, accepting spellcheck backends from aspell, myspell, and hunspell gave me numerous spell-check options, the default almost-always being the wrong one. Expected results: Firefox should stick with one spell-check backend (I recommend aspell) and perhaps recommend it for packagers as a dependency.

Firefox's spell-check, despite my locale being en-US, sets itself to en-GB, en-ZA or something en_US, which isn't even correct. The problem, it seems, is that Firefox uses whatever spell-checking backends you have installed - aspell, myspell, and hunspell. The result is that Firefox chooses, en-GB as the default spell checker more-often than not. So I uninstalled myspell, hunspell, and a package called firefox-locale-en and now everything is correct - only one spell checker is installed in Firefox. The language selector, however, always prompts to reinstall these backends whenever it is loaded. This Firefox add-on can assist, it gives you a list of dictionaries installed: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dictionary- switcher/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1026869/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
