Remove a Word From Firefox's Dictionary
Typos often happen, even to the best of typists. Unfortunately these typos can be added to the spell check with a simple clicko as you attempt to correct your typo. Fortunately, its relatively easy to fix this mistake, even if it is a bit of a pain.
You will have to edit a file called persdict.dat
. This file is found in the folder for your Firefox profile, which in Linux is located in ~/.mozilla/firefox/messofletters.default/persdict.dat
, replacing messofletters
with the actual name of the directory in ~/.mozilla/firefox/ that ends with .default
.
Having opened up persdict.dat
for editing, simply find and delete the typo you added, and then, having saved the file, restart Firefox.
