How to edit dictionary in Firefox?

So as many of you know, Firefox has a built in spell-checker. I spelled a word wrong, and when I right clicked it to choose the correct spelling, I accidentally pressed "add to dictionary".



So my question is, how can I access the dictionary and remove it? It is a word I misspell often and would like to still be corrected.

Your personal dictionary, persdict.dat, seems to be in this directory



In Windows XP:



C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\Mozilla\ Firefox\Profiles\your profile



In Windows Vista (I suspect):



Documents\your username\Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\ Firefox\Profiles\ your profile



The file seems to be editable with any straight-text editor, such as notepad or wordpad.



Hope that helps.How to edit dictionary in Firefox?
To remove the words you accidentally added to the Firefox Dictionary, first you have to close down Firefox. Navigate to the Profile folder, which is located at:



Windows XP

C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.d鈥?br>


Windows Vista

C:\users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Pr鈥?br>


Mac OS X

~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.defaul鈥?br>


Linux

~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/



Once you get to the profile folder, look for a file named persdict.dat, then right click it, choose to open with notepad (or any text editor). Inside you鈥檒l find all of your custom defined words, just delete the words which don鈥檛 belong and save. Firefox will no longer incorrectly identify those incorrect words as correct.How to edit dictionary in Firefox?
