Details

Latest Thunderbird 2.0a1 builds and Firefox 2.0b1 builds changed the dictionaries folder from /components/myspell/ to /dictionaries/. This still doesn't solve the dicts install problem for non-root users.

It should optional be possible to have dicts in profile/dictionaries/, too. Users would be able to install dicts without root privileges.
Unprivileges users can now install dictionaries as extensions. The dictionary should live in the extensiondir/dictionaries folder.

Actually repackaging the existing dictionaries as extensions is covered by bug 343076
