Firefox seems to get all the languages it sees from /usr/share/hunspell/
It is mostly links in that folder, the ones I had for English are shown
below. I just removed a lot of such links, and after restarting Firefox,
my list of languages to choose from was much shorter. All the removed
ones have disappeared. I haven't restarted Thunderbird yet, so I don't
know whether the effect will be the same there
