indeed it does not work, while other dictionaries in the dictionary page
do. This goes for no matter which page one tries. i try /fi and /ro, so
is probably the dic that has something (btw, the link above just sends
me to a user/login thing, so I just try on the normal dictionary pages).
Don't know if apropriate, but i'll get this to followup into
mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird as there may be someone to know who wach
these...

One can, but it's incredibly unobvious what to do. That 6 KB is the HTML
saying "what you're trying to download is in the sandbox, so you have to
log in to addons.mozilla.org before you can get the actual file." Thanks
to bug 375622, the dictionary page will list the newest version of any
dictionary, even if that version is in the sandbox and there is an older
version which is not. So the only thing you can do, as a user who just
wants a dictionary which is in that state, is to create a developer
account on AMO (which, fortunately, doesn't require much from you), so
that you can log in before saving the file, so that you'll actually save
the file instead of some HTML.

likely for one to look for. I got the user.., got enabled the sandbox in
the user acc (!!) and can dld the dict, but what about a 'last stable'
one..? And this is a bug not assigned yet..
[The logon is not there if using Firefox, but rather FF is trying to
install the xpi; on 'open in new tab' it does get you to the logon..]
Anyway, I'm not the OP, and dunno if the op is gonna get it right..
What is needed to correct this? Is it a complicated one?
