When following the steps described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker#w_adding-dictionaries, if I select the French dictionary, I am sent to this page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dictionnaires-fran%C3%A7ais/ but the page is not found ("We're sorry, but we can't find what you're looking for.")

Do you know where I could find the addon as a file to download and install manually?

Thanks,

Gilles

hi gilles, this page should list all available dictionaries: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/

Thanks Philipp for your swift answer. On this page though, if you select "Install French dictionary", you'll land on a "Not found" page...

Thanks for your answers. Philipp, the link you sent me works correctly. I think nonetheless that the website should be updated with it since when I go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ (which is the site where I'm sent to when clicking Add dictionaries, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker#w_adding-dictionaries) and select Install Dictionary for French I'm sent to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dictionnaires-français/, which is a Not found page. The address you sent me ends with dictionnaires-français1.

Note that the link from the language tools page that no longer works did install 3 different French dictionnaires, hence the trailing 's' (dictionnaires-français). The new link only install one French dictionnaire and got a trailing '1' (dictionnaire-français1).
