I am running Firefox 9 on Windows 7. I use the spell check very often and I love it. However, I have changed the default dictionary to UK English but every time I close firefox it changes it back to US English. I have even resorted to deleting all other English dictionaries choices but alas it keeps resorting back. I know this sounds silly, but I have to use the UK English for personal and professional reasons. I am using a UK laptop with all default settings set to UK English. Please help so effing annoying!

You can look here for dictionaries:
