Description Maxim Kammerer 2013-09-28 23:31:08 UTC
# ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/dictionaries/
total 616
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   3274 Sep 28 02:38 en-US.aff
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 624100 Sep 28 02:38 en-US.dic

These are unused, as the ebuild enables use of /usr/share/myspell.

These can be used really easily if the user decided to disable system hunspell dictionary support, we will not be removing them

Err... not sure I follow you, so reopening, because hunspell is a dependency in mozconfig-3.eclass.

Also, how can these files be used - by manually changing spellchecker.dictionary_path to /usr/lib/firefox/dictionaries? In that case this path has no significance, it's just a bundled myspell-en alternative.

Please if you do not understand ask before reopening a bug report for clarification.

You would use these if you set spellchecker.dictionary_path to blank.
