Right click while replying and select Languages
It looks as though it is now a lot simpler to instal a working language pack in Firefox than it use to be. You use to be able to select UK English and the spell checker remained (a subjective) over 50% USA English. It is now a bit more obvious than it used to be that that there is an additional dictionary that can be optionally installed.
If anyone wants to test a spell checker for UK English here are a few groups of words that you could use. I'll leave it to anyone who uses them to decide what their spell checker should accept or reject.
Group 1: cosy, centre, colour, draught, draughts, enquiries, enquiry, favourite, flavour, kilometre, harbour, humour, licence, litre, maths, neighbour, programme, résumé, theatre, travelled, tyre, Ashton-under-Lyne, Birkenhead, Darvel, East Kilbride, Kilbirnie, Londonderry, Loughborough, Lytham St Anne's, Kirkcaldy and Dysart, Limavady, Merthyr Tydfil, Middlesbrough, Prescot, Skelmersdale, St Helens, Sutton Coldfield, Tacolneston, Wath upon Dearne, Wenvoe.
