Add-on summary
This add-on provides the Mozilla-maintained Hunspell US English dictionary that is shipped with Firefox 115 ESR as an add-on for localized versions of Firefox.
It is based on the SCOWL (and friends) "normal" dictionary size with accented words (like "café"), common variants, "hacker" terms and Roman numerals.
It also has additional 2500 Mozilla-added proper names and 37 Mozilla-specific terms.
This dictionary is different from the "other" US English dictionary provided on the AMO site which is no longer maintained. The "other" dictionary uses the "large" SCOWL size ("size 70") and also contains accented words and common variants. This and the other dictionary are both an excellent choice depending on your needs.
