Please note the package names here: "wbritish".

That one says "ibritish". It's a different package.

That's because it's not a file provided by that package.
The file list for ibritish is at
<https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/all/ibritish/filelist>
and if you read it, you'll see that it doesn't put any files in the
/usr/share/dict directory.
The wbritish package, on the other hand, does, as you can see by
reading <https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/all/wbritish/filelist>.
Also, *neither* of these packages has anything to do with Firefox, which
I thought was the original complaint in this thread.
