UK Dictionary Chages to US When Accessing Yahoo UK

more options

I have configured FF to the UK dictionary and removed the US one. When I am writing comments in Yahoo UK, (via FF) my spelling is being checked with an American dictionary.

How can this be, and is it a fault with FF or Yahoo ??

Do you have the Languages menu in the right-click context menu of that text area or is Yahoo using its own spell checker?
