Firefox keeps switching to UK English

[Tom_ZeCat]

I speak the American dialect of English. It therefore makes sense for me to write in that instead of any of the other dialects. I keep finding Firefox giving red squiggly underlines to words with the American spelling. I googled the problem and the solution I found was to highlight the allegedly misspelled word and then right click and choose languages. Then it gives you a list where you can choose American English (or some other version). I did that and it solved the problem for a while. However, when I rebooted and turned Firefox back on, it was again using UK English as its standard.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with UK English. However, I'm an American and therefore need to be using the dialect I've grown up using and know inside and out.

I noticed that too, and was getting annoying having to reset it every time you open FF. A google told me one of several solutions.
One is to uninstall the gb and sa language packs, but an easier solution is to click the "tools" menu option and on that sub-menu click the "addons" option. On that dialog diable the English (GB) and the English (South Africa) buttons, and any others that are installed and you don't need.

Thanks for the heads up. I just did that. We'll see if it works out. Thanx.

An update: The stinkin' thing still keeps switching to UK English. I've been looking through preferences trying to find a default language setting, but haven't had any luck.

Edit: I did find a link. Let's see if this works.

Can't you just remove (un-install) english-gb language pack?

Yes, put it in the dustbin.
