Title:
  spell check language duplicates in Firefox

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  When right-clicking in a text-area and looking under Languages in the
  context menu, Firefox lists some of the entries twice. For example:

  * English / Australia
  * English / Australia
  * English / Canada
  * English / South Africa
  * English / United Kingdom
  * English / United Kingdom
  * English / United States
  * English / United States

  And I've got three(!) entries for Russian language - considering that
  there are no Russian language variants as there are for English this
  seems a bit to much.

  This is the listing for my dictionary dir:

  It appears to me that duplicates in FF may come from a fact there
  there are duplicates here. All those symlinks come from myspell-*
  packages.

  Another interesting listing:

  Those symlinks are from myspell-* packages too.
  Dates on symlinks suggest that they were updated (or created) when I updated to Natty, so they are 'fresh'.

  So maybe the problem is not with FF but with myspell-* packages which create too many symlinks? Is there any reason for so many symlinks?
  This report might be a duplicated of 576360. I was just hoping to put the problem into a bit different perspective and provide my observation about myspell-* packages behavior.

  I'd be happy to provide any information required.
  Thanks.
