firefox keeps changing language for spellchecker

[Jan Groenewald]

Firefox resets my spellchecker from English UK to France FR every few hours. Some people have had a similar problem:

We are in a computer lab environment where AR, FR, EN languages are installed and need to be. The default language is English UK. The gmail compose window is especially where this interferes with workflow.

This is on an up to date Ubuntu 14.04.2 64bit and firefox 36.0.1+build2-0ubuntu0.14

Jan,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time. Your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

It would help us a lot if you could test on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once in a terminal:

apport-collect 1432968

and add any additional information that you think relevant. Alternatively, please confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the report. If we do not hear from you this bug report will close in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
