There are several errors in the firefox "common" on-line dictionary. For example, this morning "recessionin" did not highlight as an error. " i " is accepted as a single word, etc. Where is the dictionary listed to check for, and request corrections - to the common dictionary?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I tried to use the usual right-click dictionary pulldown.

I have both the US and British English dictionaries and recessionin is marked as an error in both.

Have you added it accidentally? Look in the file persdict.dat in your firefox profile. *

Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

The actual dictionaries are either in a folder called firefox/dictionaries as part of the program (search for it) or in the profile folder 'extensions//dictionaries' is it was an add-on. (Though I have Linux so Windows might be different)

Yes, i is not marked as an error - but in this sentence that is correct ;-)

  • Edit: if so, with Fx closed, edit the file with a text editor
