I have set my preferred language on Mozilla to English (GB) but every time I post a comment underneath an article on The Times website it thinks I should be using English (US), even though the website itself is formatted in English (GB). For example, if I write 'sympathise' the site underlines it in red as in fact this site is doing at the moment.

Hi, are you sure that only the British dictionary is enabled? - Right click on a word in the text field. You might need to restart Firefox.

Hi, your dictionary might be a US version. You can right click on an underlined word to add the correct (British) spelling to the existing dictionary, or install a British one -

Dear Scribe

Thank you, I have installed the dictionary however the problem is still occurring. Is there something in the about:config page that might be causing this problem?
