Isn't British.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.19).Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Works as expected. I had a problem with it not working when I, somehow, had FF (en-US) installed. All good now, though.

Not British at all.
Although I think the American way of spelling certain words is more logical, I would prefer that the British English Dictionary spells words as they are supposed to be spelt here in the UK.

UNIMPRESSED.
I've had this since I installed Firefox a long time ago, and it worked wonderfully. Now it no longer supports 2.0.0.17. I'm sure you'll tell me to upgrade, but I have tried Firefox 3 and found it slow and irritating. I'm very disappointed. Keeping the old version (I assume it's not supported because you "improved" it) is not a major issue, many other add ons do the same thing. Congratulations on alienating anyone savvy enough not to upgrade everything in sight just because it asks you to.

This used to be great, but can't install on latest Thunderbird. As I am dyslexic this is a must have. So unless you can get this to work I shall have to look for a differnet email program

Great Add-on but can't get it to install on new 3.5.5 Firefox version. Won't install as incompatable. Hope plans are in progress to fix this!

Despite incompatibility messages, this add-on still works for me, yay!
In newer firefoxes you must ACTIVATE this dictionary by highlighting a misspelled word and right-clicking.

I noticed several of my apps showed greyed out as not compatible with FF 3.5.3.
I uninstalled and reinstalled them which fixed them. However I could only get the British Dic to uninstall by uninstalling in FF then restarting the computer. (XP SP3)

British English Dictionary 1.19 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.5.3
Why there is no answers for that problem, guys come on..to much time is wasted on that by many folks.

Works perfectly. This has not been updated for some time but nice to have a proper English language dictionary instead of the usual American slang!
