All too often lately I've accidentally added words instead of correcting them. >_<

I found a site detailing how to do it; I do have FF (albeit rarely/never use it), but I have never used the Spellcheck, so I haven't got the file "persdict.dat". I imagine it's simply a list of words, a new one on each line, and to fix it, you just have to delete the lines with incorrect words.

The site: http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/11/fire ... hacks.html

Heh...I saw that page also...
I preferred this step-by-step one, though:

It's amazing that they didn't make it easier to do this...

What part would be an epic fail?

- FF not making it easy and logic to remove words
- Adding incorrect words
- ?

The problem did get solved...

I'm locking this thread before it goes seriously off-topic. OP, PM me if you want it re-opened.
