I agree, the corrected word option and "Add to dictionary" are too close together.

I might be speaking out of line here as I copied my profile from a Windows install, but go to your home directory and then hit CTRL-H. That will show your hidden files. Look in .mozilla/firefox/********.default for your profile and the persdict.dat file. I hope this helps.

Sounds like a good extension/add on.

you haven't added any words to your dictionary... add one now and close ffx, it'll be there ;-)

f**king Lifehacker stole my content. I wrote about this a week ago and even included Linux instructions. This type of behavior should not be allowed.
