Question Does anyone know if you can change the spellchecker in Firefox to British English?

Does anyone know if you can change the spellchecker in Firefox to British English? I only have one version of English in my options and it is obviously American English as it continually wants me to spell words ending in ised with a Z.

Am I stuck with this or can I change it?

Taken from Welsh's link above, if you read for long enough...

Replace US English with British English as the default dictionary.

You can download Firefox Dictionaries in various languages here. Install the British English Dictionary extension and restart Firefox. Now right click inside a text field and choose English / British under the Language settings.

So easy - Many thanks.

I had misread Welsh's comment about " not for the faint hearted" in context of performing the operation when he clearly meant wading through the relevant instructions.

Reading all this has certainly helped me. I dictated the question to my son and he looked at me as though we were all dumbheads! Many thanks for the info.
