Is there any way to manually access your Mozilla Firefox spell-check dictionary?

I keep accidentally adding misspellings to it, and I wanted to know if there's a way to delete them from the list.Is there any way to manually access your Mozilla Firefox spell-check dictionary?
1. Open your application data folder. On XP or Vista, go to your Start menu and hit Run (or just press Windows-R) and paste in %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles; on your Mac, navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles.

2. Find your profile folder, which by default should look something like xxxxxxxx.default.

3. Inside your profile folder, find the file called persdict.dat and open it up in your text editor of choice.

4 Now just find the misspelling, delete it, and you're done.

---------------------

Adventurous readers can find the words you've added to Firefox's dictionary by opening Windows Explorer and typing in the path below:



%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\



Once you press enter, you will be redirected to the profiles folder of Firefox.



Browse to your profile folder (it will look like "NameOfProfile.default") and you should see a file named persdict.dat.



This can be backed up if you've added a lot of words to your dictionary, or even manually edited with a text editor such as Notepad++. Be careful to not use the built in text editor in Windows (Notepad) to view the file, as the program did not display the file correctly on our computers.
