If your language is en-US only, the ebuild isn't supposed to try to get an xpi language pack, but that's only because en-US spellchecking support comes with the main source tarball the ebuild gets. AFAICT, the ebuild is designed to get the generic en-US Firefox source then get xpis for any additional languages, so everybody gets an en-US Firefox to start with. The en-US language pack at a.m.o should only be needed by people (non-Gentooers) who've installed a localized build of Firefox and later want to add en-US support. I can't tell what's going wrong with that plan, but there's definitely something screwy with Fx 3.0.4 and the spellchecking. I've tried looking at the ebuild, but I can't explain the behavior you're seeing. (Or what I'm seeing -- en-AU got pulled in and was set as my default dictionary somehow.) --=20 =C2=BBQ=C2=AB Kleeneness is next to G=C3=B6delness.
