I installed Serbian Dictionary 0.18 from this link (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/%D1%81%D1%80%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8-%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA-serbian-dictiona/) after installing it i restarted Firefox & when i wanted to select it instead of English dictionary I can't find it in the language side menu, only (English / United States) is there but when I went to the extension menu I found it's installed normally.

Chosen solution

Confirmed. The file install.rdf needs to be updated and a line <em:unpack>true</em:unpack> needs to be added to make Firefox install the dictionary properly.

  • Bug 628932 - Some dictionaries are not properly installed

That is required in Firefox 5 and without the line Firefox drops the extensions file in the extensions folder in the Firefox Profile Folder

You can open the .xpi (ZIP) archive and edit the file install.rdf in it and add that line.
