How do I remove the English (United States) dictionary from Firefox? It's not an add-on so I'm guessing it's built into Firefox by default. Maybe that makes it unremovable?
I noticed whilst typing a Hotmail email in Firefox that the default language seems to be English/United States. As I am from the UK I thought I would add in the English/United Kingdom dictionary, which I have. This is now the default language and I don't need the US dictionary.
Firefox 3.6.2 on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit.

The dictionaries are stored in the dictionaries folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\dictionaries) and you can remove the files from that folder.
The Mozilla Add-ons Dictionaries page is displayed. To add a dictionary to your Firefox installation, click the "Install Dictionary" link next to the dictionary you want to add. The Software Installation window appears. When it is displayed, click
Install Now
, which should open the Add-ons window, where you'll see the dictionary being installed.To enable the dictionary, click the
Restart Firefox
button, in the Add-ons window. You can even see for more here.
