My language is blank and I'm unable to download English language for my spell checks. I got united_states_english_spellchecker-7.0.1-sm+tb+fx+an.xpi & wont open

Question

I did go through the process and download more dictionaries because my language bar is blank.
I Download Dictionary (247.6 kB) and save it as united_states_english_spellchecker-7.0.1-sm+tb+fx+an.xpi, and that is as far as I get
Thanks,

hello there.  You have probably already fixed whatever it was that was interfering, and I admit I didn't read all of the info that followed your post, but I have run into a few files that seem to be suspicious that could be part of the problem.  I was getting all sorts of weird issues from my new cloud subscriptions, and I eventually began to wonder if I had been infected with some sort of malware or virus.  I still don't know, but I came across a weird file path that contained MANY strange files.  One of them was Adobe Application Manager (Updater).exe, and I THINK, I am not sure, that this could be a file that is causing problems (as well as some of the other within that path address.  On my computer it is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\ (for the file mentioned above it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\UWA.  I have this program that I use called PEStudio that allows me to view the contents of executables without actually running or opening them.  I have found this to be a very useful, and free, tool for researching malicious files.  When I opened the file I mentioned, there was a treasure trove of suspicious "strings" as well as others.  It actually identifies some of the strings as "blacklisted" so that you can view those strings first.  It also runs blacklists on other parts of the files so it has proved to be very useful (even if you aren't a techie per se). 
Anyway, I hope this helps if you are still having trouble.
