Here is the current issue:

In the directory /usr/share/myspell/dicts there is the situation that when a language is installed, (for example English [United Kingdom]) the file 'en_GB.dic' is created, but also a symlink to it is created called 'en-GB.dic'

The trouble is OpenOffice looks for 'en_GB.dic' and firefox looks for 'en-GB.dic' so we can't just delete either one. The reason firefox adds these duplicate entries is because of these symlinks.

I think the trouble is that Firefox is look for the entries with a hyphen between them, which is not the standard naming of these myspell dictionary files so firefox shall have to be patched.
