Steps to reproduce:

Installed GNU/Linux, specifically Ubuntu, and used their language-
selector" which installed backends for spellchecking including hunspell
and myspell.


Actual results:

Firefox, accepting spellcheck backends from aspell, myspell, and
hunspell gave me numerous spell-check options, the default almost-always
being the wrong one.


Expected results:

Firefox should stick with one spell-check backend (I recommend aspell)
and perhaps recommend it for packagers as a dependency. This is the
launchpad bug:

I forgot to mention that I also installed firefox-locale-en which adds
the seemingly-incorrect en_US (en-US is correct).
