I'd take any claims of it being an "Oz Dictionary" with a pinch of salt... some time back I DL'ed it and found that all of the corrections were for Americanised spellings. (eg. It wants to change that (<--) to AmericaniZed! )

On grabbing the "US dictionary" and doing a bit-wise comparison, the ONLY difference I could find was an A added to the front of the name "US dictionary."

"About this Add-on
Are you sick of all your favo-U-rite colo-U-rful language being marked as incorrect? Me too. Live no more in the world of crazy American spelling - get the Australian English Dictionary "

When I type colour I don't get a red underline, but when I type color I do.

Realise? Realize? (red line)

Zed? Zee? (red line)

YES!!! Actually, that was the first test of USA v Oz.

Now, lemme see.....ok, I can add "lemme" to the dictionary. That's good.

What else? Ah yes, some colorful language.
#word blue? That's ok.
#word brown. Yep.
Miserable #word. No, had to add that one.


Well, that's it. I'm very satisfied - just have to educate it a little, like all my mobile phones have been.

You originally had a US dictionary. You added an AUS one. They work in conjunction.

Simply delete the US one, restart the browser.

Presto. Colour.

I have both as I'm often dealing with yanks who can't spell propper or understand Oz spellin'.

From time to time you need to check that FFox hasn't defaulted back to US dickshunerry, which it has a want to do every now and again.

PS had 4 red lines under the above and fixed the mistakes really easily.Just added 'em to the dickshunerry, US of course, Aussies would never spell words as bad as that. Well except for on a Chewsdee or any other day endin wif ee, cos on them ee days spellin n grammah don't mater much at all.

Owed two a spell chequer

Eye halve a grate spelling chequer

It came with my pea sea

It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.


Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say

Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.


As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long

And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.


Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your pleased two no

Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
