I just found one more thing -- I thought after installing the myspell
packages, the Mozilla XPI packages somehow got activated. This was by
seeing a separate entry for en_US and English / United States.

Now I find by looking at /usr/share/myspell/dicts that the myspell-en-us
package has created en-US.[dic|aff] and the en_US symlinks to those
files. And Tbird thinks they are two different spellcheckers since they
have both the dic extension.

I am seriously wondering whether the XPI package got installed at all --
there is no related entry in my Tbird profile folder and the Tbird
process does not have sufficient permissions to write to
/usr/share/myspell or any folder under /usr at all. If the XPI package
did not get installed, then the bug summary should be updated.

Could a NoScript installation in Fx affect Tbird and prevent the
installation script from working?
