It's Canadian, eh?

If you've already installed Firefox 2.0, you've probably noticed that it has a built in spell checker. This is very cool. The problem is, if you're not American, your non-US English spelling is going to have a lot of dotted red lines under it - very annoying for quick proofing of what you type in a text box in Firefox.

Let me fix that for you. Go to this add-ons page and find the dictionary you need (for Canadians it's the English (en-ca) dictionary). Install the dictionary you need and restart Firefox. The next time you find yourself typing in a text box, right click, and change the language to the one you want. Presto.
