How to Delete Words from your Custom Mozilla Firefox Dictionary

I recently added a misspelled word to my Mozilla Dictionary and had a heck of a time figuring out how to delete it.

Below you'll find a picture-by-picture, step-by-step guide to removing your mistake.

Step 1:

Paste the following code into your Windows Start Menu Search function or use the Run function.

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles



Step 2:

Open your Profile Folder and look for the following file:

persdict.dat



Step 3:

Open the file using Notepad. Open the Edit Menu and Click Find or Press ctrl+f to open the find box.



Step 4:

Punch the word in, press find, delete the word.



Step 5:

Save your work.




I kinda sucked with the picture guide so here's a step-by-step, no picture walkthrough to removing your misspelled words from the Mozilla Firefox Dictionary:

1. Post the following code in the Run/Search menu:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

2. Find your profile folder and locate the following file:
persdict.dat

3. Open file with notepad (or other text editor)

4. Find misspelled word. Delete misspelled word.

5. Save.

6. WIN!
