Erik,

On my Windows XP box (boo, hiss...), I had to open both the T'bird 
extensions window and a Firefox window, looking at T'bird extensions. 
Then I had to "drag and drop" the de-de dictionary .xpi file from the 
Firefox window to the T'bird window.  Then I restarted  T'bird and there 
was the German dictionary.  I don't know about Ubuntu, but I will try 
the same procedure there.

I think Linux the dictionary requires T'bird 2.0+.  Kubuntu has only 
1.5.0, though.
