No doubt an excellent browser, but one cannot help noticing that in the choice of languages both "British English" and just "English" are offered. Now, by definition "English" (unqualified) must be British by definition since it is the country of origin, so what are they talking about? Well, it seems that there may be a "misunderstanding" on the part of certain Americans. Perhaps they need to be reminded that although several varieties of the language have developed eg. Australian, South African, Canadian and yes, American, the only one that does not need qualifying is of course UK English.....Firefox developers, please take note!
