I am using Firefox 4.0 and I was wondering how i can delete misspelled words from my custom dictionary. I have found how to do it on old versions of Firefox, but they do not work on the new version. I am using windows 7.

That should work the same with Firefox 4. You need to open the file persdict.dat in a text editor and remove the lines with those words.
