Currently FF3 on mac is building OSXSpell, not myspell/hunspell. This means that the "Get More Dictionaries" link is useless: even if you installed a dictionary from AMO it would be useless.

We have a few options:
1) Build hunspell instead of OSXSpell
2) Make the "Get More Dictionaries" link provide a way to install new OSX system dictionaries
3) Remove the "Get More Dictionaries" item on mac

This is a regression from FF2, which uses myspell.

Oh, and if we're going to stick with OSXSpell we should stop shipping the myspell/hunspell dictionaries.
