I went into Firefox preferences>content>languages and chose my preferred language (English UK). However, the spell checker keeps correcting my spelling and puts a red line under any word that is spelt differently to US English. How do I fix it please? Karina

The British locale does not come with a dictionary like the en-US locale does due to license reasons.
