I am unable to get the Language submenu to show. I am unable to instal the latest English (GB) Language Pack as Firefox says I am not on the latst version (I am on version 59.0.3 not 60).

I just tried re-installing (The download page claimed I am on the latest version) I launched the installer - not difference..

I am on Windows 10 64-bit

Hello RemyS,

That language pack will work with Firefox version 60.0, which will be released in less than 24 hours (May 9, to be precise).

But in case you want to install it for spell check, you should use a
dictionary :

From on top of https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/

Installing a dictionary extension will add a new language option to your spell-checker, which checks your spelling as you type in Firefox. Language packs change your browser's interface language, including menu options and settings.

So you need to install the English (en-GB) dictionary and not the language pack.
