How to remove dictionaries?

more options

Hello.

I installed Firefox 4 on Ubuntu and it came with multiple dictionaries I don't want. I'd like to remove US English, African English, etc. and keep only the UK English dictionary. I also have Australian English listed twice in the language selection. These dictionaries don't show up on the extension/list. How do I remove them?

Are they listed in the add-ons manager? If they are you can uninstall them from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

You might want to ask about that in the Ubuntu support fora:

Firefox that comes with Ubuntu is an enhanced version of what Mozilla releases.
