Removed French language; Still spell-checking French
I had the French dictionary installed in Firefox, but want to get rid of it. I have deleted it from my Content Settings- it is no longer there as an option.
However, when I am typing, it still spell checks in French. When I right click, the French dictionaries are still an option. There does not seem to be a way to remove the dictionary/language pack.
I have already: Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox Deleted cache, cookies, etc.
I am running on a mac, just for some background. Any suggestions please!

What dictionaries do you see in the Languages menu?
What is the value of the spellchecker.dictionary pref on the about:config page?
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
- Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
- Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
- Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
