This is normal.  These extensions is installed by language-pack-en, and do 
not necessarily mean that Firefox is using the en-GB language, only that 
it is available to be selected.

Huh.  That seems less normal.  I have the en-GB Firefox extension 
installed and enabled on my Ubuntu laptop (as it was by default), yet 
words still spell-check as en-US for me.
