Ok, removing the packages works too. One thing that will happen is that if you open Language Support, it will prompt you to install those packages (which you can choose not to, of course). OTOH, I suppose you don't have a reason to open Language Support very often.

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 : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
