Remove word from firefox dictionary

In the dictionary I had installed, there are misspelled words. Originally, I thought I have added them accidentally, however, after going to my profile (%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\as6zjsxj.default) and editing persdict.dat I found out that they come from the original dictionary, not my modifications.
I just don't understand why there's no "Remove from dictionary" context menu item.

You can use Add to Dictionary to add you own modifications to the spell checker.
To modify entries in the built-in or in an installed dictionary you would have to edit the used dictionary file directly on disk, either in the dictionaries folder in the Firefox program folder or in the extensions folder in the Firefox profile folder.

How to remove word from personal dictionary?

I've searched online for this and it almost sounds like it can't be done in DW CS5, but that just seems crazy. I added a word to my dictionary that can be spelled two ways and now, for consistency sake, want to remove one version.   Can anyone tell me if this is possible and how?
Thank you.

Thanks, Nancy, but that's for older versions.   According to Adobe, "Dreamweaver does not provide a way of deleting entries that have been added to personal dictionaries."
Maybe I'm just stubborn, but I found it hard to believe that if you accidently add a word you can never remove it. What if you accidently clicked to add something that wasn't spelled correctly? As I was replying to you, I poked around some more and found in C:\Users\my name\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary\eng (I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, so your location may vary). a file called added.clam. There is also an added.txt and exceptions.txt but there's nothing in them.
I copied added.clam and renamed it to added.clam_Copy.txt. Opened it up with Notepad and sure enough, my word is in there! But there are other markings in there that I don't know what they mean. I edited my word out and when I ran spell check in DW it stopped on a word that I had left in my personal dictionary.   I didn't have that many in so I went back and cleaned them all out and saved a blank added.clam.   Then when I went back to DW, ran it again, and added the words I want.
There might be a cleaner way to fix the problem, but that worked for me. It seems crazy that Adobe doesn't allow you to edit the dictionary but if someone using CS5 is really stuck, this will work!

Unable to remove iLivid from Firefox because Firefox will not launch.

I am attempting to remove iLivid from my computer. It has hijacked my browser. I removed it from IE and Chrome; however, I am unable to remove it from Firefox because it will not launch. How can I remove this "thing" from Firefox if it will not launch???? I used the shortcut on the taskbar, the icon on my desk top and also the navigation menu. None will launch Firefox.

HT2496 How do I remove words from my personal dictionary?

I added a mispelled word to my Dictionary using the "Add to Dictionary" menu option. I need to remove it now and can't figure out how to.

Stored in /Users/"username"/Library/Spelling/LocalDictionary
Open it in TextEdit and delete the erroneous entry. Getting to the stupidly hidden Library folder is left as an exercise. I've permanently unhid it using this Terminal command:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Might take a restart to take affect.

How to remove a "learned" word from the dictionary

Remove word from spell_checker

The built in deault spell-checker (OS X 10.7.2) seems to think the word "Adrain" is correctly spelled. How can I remove this word from it's dictionary? Note this is NOT a question about personal dictionary additions or learned words. I do not see an "Unlearn Spelling" option for this word. Also, I am UNIX savy so directions that involve manually editing files would be fine.

I am running 10.6.8 and this screen shot shows where my LocalDictionary is located.
It is Homefolder\Library\Spelling\LocalDictionary.
Back when I was running Tiger, that file was called something else, and I used TextEdit to change it.
I do not know if SnowLeopard works same.
I just tested it, and I'd say that it works same, that is I edited it with TextEdit.

How does one remove yahoo from firefox?

please, how does one remove yahoo & any of its features from firefox?
it conflicts with my ghostery software. if i can not get rid of yahoo, i will have to remove and reinstall firefox. i want to avoid this because it will cause me to lose my bookmarks.
thank you in advance.

Hi gunnermac,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
If Yahoo has been set as the default search in the search bar, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Search bar]].
If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at [[Location bar search]].
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].
Hopefully this helps!

How to remove a word from the dictionary?

In the dictionary there are some words that aren't spelled correctly. I like to remove those words. Btw those words are not added by myself, but are already in the dictionary when I installed Firefox.
I'm using Firefox 6.0.1 (dutch version) and Windows XP.
The words I'm talking about are 'bakcupsysteem' and 'backcupsysteem'. The correct word has to be 'backupsysteem' which I've added already to the file persdict.dat.

What editor can I use for editing that file? Although I don't think I will edit that file because I see a lot of english words in that dutch(!) dictionary... I mean what is a word like "cupboard" doing in that file... And what will happen with the dictionary when I update Firefox?
Thanks for your help. I think I just have to stick with incorrect spelled words and I just have to add the correct word(s).

How to get the list of words from the dictionary?

Hello,
Please confirm the possibility to get the list of words available from the InDesign's default dictionary for example: I'd like to have all the words available from the 'Russian' dictionary from InDesign.
Thanks,
Praveen

This should help:
http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/add_cs_dictionaries.html
when you find the file "AdobeHunspellPlugin.bundle", copy it to your desktop, change the extension to .zip and extract the contents. The Russian dictionary should be in the ru_RU folder (ru_RU.dic)

Remove words from file

Hello, I have created a class which is supposed to be an array of stopwords (words that I want to remove from a file).
Then I want to create another class which reads in a file. It reads the file. Then it looks through the array of stopwords. If it encounters a word in the file which is the same as the word in the array, it replaces it with nothing.
I want this class to be separate from the main class so that in the main class,I can specify any file, and the stopwords will be removed. Here is some code, thanks
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class StopWordArray {
     //This class represents an array of stopwords
     //The stopwords are read from a text file into an array
     private String [] tokens;
     //constructor
    public StopWordArray(){
         try{
//         open input stream
         File inputFile = new File("/home/myrmen/workspace/Chisquare/extract/stopWordList.txt");
         InputStream inStream = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
         InputStreamReader inreader = new InputStreamReader(inStream, "8859_1");
         BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(inreader);
        String line;
        //Fills array
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
        StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(line);
        int numberOfElements = st1.countTokens();
         tokens = new String[ numberOfElements ];
        int index = 0;
         while( st1.hasMoreTokens() )
           String element = st1.nextToken();
         tokens[ index ] = element;
                   index ++;
        reader.close();
     catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
import java.io.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class RemoveStop {
     //Fields
     private StopWordArray myArray = new StopWordArray();
    private String myString;
     //Constructor
    public RemoveStop(String myString){
import java.io.*;
public class Main {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          StopWordArray theWords = new StopWordArray();
        theWords.printArray();
        String file = "/home/myrmen/workspace/Chisquare/extract/Turing";
        RemoveStop remove = new RemoveStop(file);
}

Ok, here is an update:
private String [] tokens;
   //Method which returns each element in the array as a string
    public String word()
    String word = null;
    for(int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++)
    word = tokens.toString();
return word;
public void readFile(){
String output = null;
StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(aString);
while(st1.hasMoreTokens())
String element = st1.nextToken();
//System.out.println(myArray.word());
if(element.equals(myArray.word()))
output = element.replaceAll(myArray.word(), "WAY");
//else{System.out.println("ERROR");
System.out.println(output);
But with the readFile() method, I only access the LAST element of the array. How can I iterate through the whole array, and search for the words that are stored in the array in the input file?

How do i remove yahoo from firefox?

I downloaded a screen saver and after installing it I ended up with a Yahoo search page every time I start Firefox.
It is not in my plugins or addons so I can't remove it there.
It is not in my list of installed programs so I can't uninstall it.
I have reinstalled Firefox and it is still there.
How can I remove it?

How do I remove "sailthru" from Firefox?

I have started to get "sailthru" suggestions while brousing. It says on their web site that you can stop it for 30 days but it will start up again. How can I perminetly remove it? That is one thing I could not find on their site. Pop up blocker and Ad block do not stop it.
Thanks,
Wayne
