Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox
It seems that packaged versions of Firefox for Ubuntu are using British English language packs rather than American English language packs.
As an American, I feel deeply offended by the British spellings that are constantly being recommended by the menus and spell check.
(Firefox 3.0, Ubuntu Jaunty)

It seems that en-US packaged versions of Firefox for Linux are using British English language packs rather than American English language packs.
As an American, I feel deeply offended by the British spellings that are constantly being recommended by the menus and spell check.
I am able to replicate this with both distro-packaged and Mozilla-issued builds.
