Since 61.0-1, firefox depends on hunspell-en_US instead of
hunspell. As a side effect, two dictionaries are
unconditionally added to both Firefox and Thunderbird:
"English (United States)" and "English (Philippines)" (yes,
hunspell-en_US provides that one as well, who knows
why...).
This is quite annoying, as these dictionaries pollute my dictionary list in Firefox/Thunderbird, and there is no way to remove them. Is there an actual reason to require system-wide dictionaries? IMHO this should be a user decision. |
This task depends upon

I'm not sure what the motivation is for suddenly requiring that the user has a dictionary installed, let alone enforcing a particular language.
I can move it to an optdepend.
Although, if someone uses language packs to use a different language, feature parity might mean you get other language dictionaries...
