Default Firefox english dictionary

I'm English and proud of that fact. I have therefore downloaded the English dictionary that is available for firefox. Problem is, its made no damn difference to any of the suggested spellings.

Everything is still full of zzzzzzzzz's and americanisms Anyone else had this issue? Anyone have an alternative English dictionary that I can use?

My previous install was working fine, this one is not. Something has changed, but I cannot currently find out what that change is

Had the same problem myself once.

You need to download the British English dictionary for FF.

The one they label as just the English dictionary is Merkin English.

If you were English and proud of that fact, you wouldn't be in need of a dictionary sir.
