For some weird reason, Firefox as packaged by Gentoo doesn't support 
dictionaries.  It only supports hunspell (or aspell, can't remember) 
which you need to install first along with dictionaries for it.  After 
you do that, you will get a gazillion of English dictionaries that you 
can't disable.  You'll need to live with it, since no one cares about 
this bug.
