I believe you need to put the en-GB.* files in the 'dictionaries' folder
at the top level - i.e. in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla
Firefox\dictionaries\'
You should also set in your central cfg file:
pref("spellchecker.dictionary", "en-GB");
which will make this the default for all users
(you might want to use defaultPref() or lockPref() instead, depending on
how you want to manage this)
No idea if this is the 'right' way of doing this, but it works for me ...
