Can't get rid of US English in Firefox
I downloaded FF 26 recently and although I specified the UK English download I still have US English as my default language when I switch away from German. I downloaded the UK dictionary but now it is only one of the three languages. So, HOW do I get rid of this pesky US language (pack or dictionary), and how do I persuade FF to take UK English as my preferred language? I have had this problem since FF25. I live in Thailand, by the way.

Do you mean where this dictionary is installed on your computer?
Is this dictionary available as a choice in the Languages menu if you right-click in a text area?
Did you look for a dictionaries folder?
- (32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
If you installed this dictionary as an extension via the Add-ons website then the dictionary is installed as an extension in the Firefox profile folder and you need to uninstall this extension.

Well, yes, only problem is that US English isn't there, it is somewhere in the Mozilla register and I don't know how to get there. That's why I posted.
look in about:config for "en-US" , replace with "en-GB"
Thanks. I just replaced 3 or 4 en-US entries with en-GB, I still get told to spell organise with a 'Z'. I just restarted and looked: 'en-US' has disappeared but I still get US English as my default language. Mystery.
Because you probably do the English Firefox Download.
Try this Unistall Firefox:
Go to Download Firefox Page:
In the bottom of the page change the language to English British: https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media.../2014-01-06-13-17-35-bf1912.png

You can check the order of the installed languages.
- Tools > Options > Content > Languages
If you uninstall the en-US version and install the en-GB Firefox version then you shouldn't have the en-US dictionary anymore because the en-GB version comes without a dictionary because of licensing reasons and you need to install the en-GB dictionary yourself.
If you didn't uninstall the en-US version then you may still have the dictionaries folder in the Firefox program folder with the en-US dictionary and you can manually remove the dictionaries in this folder.
Thanks for the tools tip, feeling a bit stupid now. How do I find the en-US dictionary?
Yes, thanks again, I deleted MOST of the en-US entries that I found, some were connected to programs that I use. I also had to restart my PC. Perfect!
