Paul, firefox uses the spelling dictionaries installed system-wide in
/usr/share/hunspell, independently of the language pack extensions.
As far as en-US is concerned, this is the default locale that firefox is
built in, so the corresponding dictionary is embedded in firefox. There
is no way to make a locale-agnostic build.
If you really wanted to get rid of the embedded dictionary, you would
need to unpack /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja (zip format), delete the
contents of the 'dictionaries' directory, and repack it.

Title:
English US spelling dictionary appears in the languages' menu even
though it's not installed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Even though I don't have the English US spelling dictionary (hunspell-
en-us) installed neither system-wide nor locally in Firefox, it
appears in the languages' context menu (when you right-click in a text
field).
Is it hard-packaged with Firefox? Please remove it if it's packaged
with Firefox by mistake.
