One thing that has bugged me for awhile is that my firefox spell check always uses the British spelling, not the US spelling. I disabled the South African and English (GB) language packs, and I have the US Spell check dictionary installed. I also have firefox-locale-en installed. I thought that might fix it but that was not the case. So if I type color it says it needs spell checked as it believes it should be colour. If I type honor, it thinks it should be honour. In about:config I tried changing all references to en-GB to en-US, but that did not solve it either. How can I force en-Us instead of en-UK?

Thanks for the response notabug! Technically this works, but the problem is it does not stick. This has to be changed every time.

I wish I knew more that could help you. The setting is the same for my Firefox in Kubuntu and Windows 8. I didn't even know I had the UK spellcheck dictionary in the Kubuntu Firefox until I checked, after you posted the question. So far, the settings for the dictionary has not changed for me.Linux User #454271Comment

Somehow I've ended up with USA English as default in System Settings/Locales/Country Region & Language/Languages.
Also System Settings/Locales/Country Region & Language/Country is set to United States of America.
And then System Settings/Locales/Spell Checker/ the default language is set to English (United States of America).
Automatic Spell Checking is on by default is checked.GigaByte GA-965G-DS3, Core2Duo at 2.1 GHz, 4 GB RAM, ASUS DRW-24B1ST, LiteOn iHAS 324 A, NVIDIA 7300 GS, 500 GB and 80 GB WD HDDComment

Don't understand how you could be rude. I forgot to mention that I did a sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales. If nothing is checked there except US English, there should be nothing else that can be used. Plus under Content/Languages>-Choose in FF Preferences you should select the US version also.
Extra content fleshes out what I was trying to say. This is where I believe your problem occurs. Certainly didn't mean to provoke.GigaByte GA-965G-DS3, Core2Duo at 2.1 GHz, 4 GB RAM, ASUS DRW-24B1ST, LiteOn iHAS 324 A, NVIDIA 7300 GS, 500 GB and 80 GB WD HDDComment
