I have installed the en-us language pack in Firefox, and I've tried many of the "fixes" I found on the Internet, but this problem remains for me. For instance, "honor" is flagged but "honour" is not flagged. The "English (US) Language Pack" add-on is installed.
One interesting observation: when I go under Preferences->Language, I see that en-us is selected as the default. When I click on Set Alternatives, but the drop-down also shows en-gb and en-ca. I can click on Canada and UK and remove them, and they show as removed. However, after I restart, those two languages come back. So there appears to be no way to actually remove those languages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026869 Title: Firefox accepts dictionaries and spell check entries from every which spell check backend, leaving problems with defaults and the language selector enables this behavior Status in Mozilla Firefox: New Status in Hunspell: New Status in myspell: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've been searching for the solution to this bug for a long time. 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.
