    The Firefox 62.0 is scheduled for Release on September 5th.

    I checked random Language Packs on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/ and they all had the requirement of Firefox 62.0

    Normally the new Language Pack versions are made available a day early at most and not over a week early.

    Users need to go to the Versions page to install the version for Fx 61.*

    The Dictionaries which is what people need for the inline Spellchecker is fine.

    Hi James,

    Since this is AMO and I don't want to steal your thunder for finding this, would you consider filing an issue via AMO's GitHub?

    Cheers, Michał

    It has been mentioned in one thread https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/780 and listed in https://github.com/mozilla/addons-server/issues/8180

    Most times when people post about Language Packs here they were trying to install for the spellchecker and not changing the UI language. A recent thread at time made the Firefox 62.0 requirement known.
