Ubuntu – How to change Firefox’s default dictionary

Firefox seems to use myspell/hunspell and listing /usr/share/myspell/dicts/ shows me the dictionaries that I'm given options to use:

$ ls -1 /usr/share/myspell/dicts/*.dic
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_CA.dic 
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_GB.dic
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_ZA.dic
...

Search for the dictionary filename in installed packages:

$ dpkg -S /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_CA.dic
hunspell-en-ca: /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_CA.dic

So with the Canadian language package name, the fix is to remove it:

sudo apt-get remove hunspell-en-ca

Ubuntu – How to restore session in Firefox

You have to move your mouse cursor to the top panel. When hovering the panel a menu will appear, click on history and then choose "Restore previous session".

Alternatively you can use the Ubuntu HUD function.

To use HUD, you need to have a Firefox window selected, then press the ALT key and type "SESSION". Again choose "Restore previous session".

That should be that.
