I don't think this bug is only a Firefox one. I'm French and often use
English on the web. Thus, I need both language-support-en and language-
support-fr. But, those meta-packages install a lot of dictionaries that
I don't care because I live in France, not in Belgium, not in Canada, so
fr-CA, fr-BE and fr-CH are of no use for me. It's not really a problem
to have too much dictionaries, the problem is that they are too many
supported locales set in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/en and
/var/lib/locales/supported.d/fr and that all those dictionaries are
activated.

What I propose :
# The Ubuntu part
– 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales' must give the ability to select 
activate/deactivate locales,
– when installing Ubuntu, it must not only install language-support 
metapackages but also reduce the activated languages to those of the country of 
the user (fr_FR in my case for instance),
# The Firefox part
– Firefox must use 'locale -a' to get all activated locales and propose in the 
spell check menu only the activated ones.
