Firefox dictionaries

I realised that after my move over to Australia that my Firefox installation had lost its built-in spell checker. At first I thought that it was the result of certain new plug-ins I had installed, but after look round a bit, found out that it was because of a missing dictionary.

In short what happened was I after getting to Australia, I changed my operating system time zone setting, which also change the dictionary that was being use.

The solution is simple, right click on any text area which you would normally expect the spellcheck to be active -> languages -> Add dictionaries.


After that, simply click on the dictionary you need to install it.
