Why is Firefox spell checker correcting in Spanish instead of English?
Firefox is correcting in Spanish though current browser and Op system is set to English. Tried installing English as an Add-in dictionary and it gives me a message "can't install update in this version of Firefox 3.6.3". This was a recent download of firefox.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed firefox in new system with Win 7, April 2010

You certainly seem to have both dictionaries (en-GB, british-english, and es-es, spanish) installed correctly, no problem there.
You didn't mention which version of Firefox that you installed basically, the english or the spanish version, but I'll assume english here - it may not even matter, as long as both dictionaries are installed correctly, they should be usable.
When you enter text in a text area, you should be able to right-click in the area and from the context menu have a point "Language >" under which you can select which dictionary to use on the page.
To make it even more practical and user-friendly to yourself, I can strongly recommend a Firefox Add-on that I use myself for controlling dictionary selection; the Dictionary Switcher addon. You can get it here: Mozilla Addons or Authors homepage.
I hope this is helpful to you - if not, please let us know so we can investigate where this fails, and include any detail you can come up with that could help us track down the problem.
