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.
This Firefox add-on can assist, it gives you a list of dictionaries
