Hi. I have to write a number of emails in French, so I have tried loading the French dictionaries as an add-on. I click on the green download file, and it says "loading" on the top tab. Then I am invited to "save" the file. The trouble is, wherever I try to save the file, or run it, the dictionaries don't save to Thunderbird. It's a large file: 1.4 MB. But even so, I am giving it time to load. When I go to my downloads file on my Modzilla Firefox browzer page, the dictionaries aren't there either. I have tried restarting my computer and Thunderbird to no effect. When I try to change the language (spelling button) all it is showing is English. Any thoughts?
