Why not add in one of the British English Dictionary add-ins?

Ah, that looks better! I had the English (GB) language pack and I thought that would include a decent dictionary.

I would recommend Chromium instead of Chrome, the opensource version:

Oh, right -- there are Windows binaries now? Is it easy to update now?

Last time I checked (IIRC), on Windows OSes, Chromium had to be manually compiled and had no update feature, so you'd have to manually check the website, and re-download and compile the source for each new version.

Don't know what you folks are doing but I have FF on multiple machines and various OS's and it never goes to US English for me.

Me neither... it kept defaulting to "English (Canadian)" for some reason... :-/ The issue seemed to disappear a few updates ago.
