Hello, I'm also affected. The /usr/lib/firefox/dictionaries/fr.aff file does exist, strace shows:
31482 access("/usr/lib/firefox/dictionaries/fr.aff", F_OK <unfinished ...> 31482 <... access resumed> ) = 0 31482 stat("/usr/lib/firefox/dictionaries/fr.aff", <unfinished ...> 31482 <... stat resumed> {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=18480, ...}) = 0 But later on: 31482 openat(AT_FDCWD, "file:///usr/lib/firefox/dictionaries/fr.aff", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 31482 openat(AT_FDCWD, "file:///usr/lib/firefox/dictionaries/fr.aff.hz", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 31482 write(2, "error: file:///usr/lib/firefox/d"..., 64) = 64 no wonder :) ln -s / file: is an ugly workaround that does work.
