[Bug 307600] [NEW] Firefox spellchecker does not respect locale

[David Overton]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The firefox spellchecker does not respect locale settings.  I have
locale set to en_AU, but it defaults to the English / US dictionary even
though there is an English / Australia dictionary available.
