Easy way to disable US English dictionary permantly

[psims]

Currently, if you delete the US english dictionary it gets reinstalled everytime you update firefox, and if you just deselected it gets reselected as default when you update. You should be able to easily remove US english dictionary without deleting files manual, and as long as another dictionary is install, it should get reinstalled every time you update (as they just discourage people from updating).

Firefox should also respect preferences between dictionaries across updates, restarts, different website etcs. You should not have to manually deselect US english and select another dictionary instead every time you type into a new website. There needs to be a way of changing the global default, permanently. The USA isn't the centre of the universe!

I'm a huge fan of firefox and a standard open web but this dictionary issue drives me crazy. I use UK English, Spanish and Portuguese. I don't ever want to see US "English" in my browser. I can't even find a way to remove it from the profile files.

Although I have UK English specified and a UK dictionary add-on installed, Firefox will not recognise either and highlights correct spellings as errors in v108.0.

I know this is old, but it is the best post I've fount on the subject. As neither my browser nor my language packs are in en-US, I think it is weird that I cannot hide it from my spell-checking list.

However, there must've been an update to this issue, as the choice of spell-checker is persistent through tabs for me. If, due to technical limitations, we cannot easily remove this dictionary soon, I think a good start would be the possibility to at least hide it.
