I just installed a new firefox dictionary as the default was American English.
I WANT to install English English, why is there no option .. or just maybe English?
I consider myself British but I speak English, not British.
Should we have British Welsh as well?

Try looking for International English.

Why? I don't understand your point. I regularly talk to "International English" speakers, in India, Middle East & Africa .. They are not using the same language as me .. !

Is there not an English (UK) or UK English option?

It's pretty standard for everything else, for now. Some youn-uns these days probably can't tell the difference...

It's down as "English / United Kingdom"

It's not usually available on the Beta versions though, because no British people actually contribute to the main project. They just wine about [LIFTED] all the time.
