[Bug 407145] [NEW] Firefox UK English spell checker doesn't know its own name

[Bruno Girin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Ubuntu release: Jaunty 9.04
Package version: 3.5.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1

More an amusing glitch than a real problem but it shouldn't be too
difficult to fix. It appears that the UK English dictionary in Firefox
doesn't include the words "Firefox" and "Thunderbird" thus prompting the
spell checker to suggest alternatives. It knows about Starbucks or
Microsoft though.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Find a web page with a form that contains a text area or open the attached file.
2. Input the words "Starbucks Microsoft Mozilla Firefox Thunderbird Ubuntu Linux" in the text area.

Expected result:
All words are recognised by the spell checker.

Actual result:
The words "Firefox" and "Thunderbird" are underlined in red and, when right clicking on them, the spell checker suggests alternatives.

** Affects: firefox-3.5 (Ubuntu)
