Hi! I use Firefox on a Mac and have the latest version installed. Since I come from Germany, I would like to use the German spell checker. I have already downloaded the German "Language Pack" and it is shown in the add-ons. However, I cannot choose the language when I write and want to use the correction. It still only says english. I rebooted my Mac and quit an re-opened Firefox, too.

Language Packs are for the language of the Firefox User Interface or UI. It is a option to have one Firefox install and be able to change the UI to one or more other languages.

The inline Spell Checker in Firefox uses Dictionaries. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker#w_adding-dictionaries
