I have Ubuntu Linux 8.04 LTS with Firefox 3.6.3. Unfortunately it is super easy to accidentally click Add To Dictionary on a word you do not want added into one's personal dictionary used in Firefox.
How do I remove the word 'intsead' out of it? I tried some tutorials on the web that said to find ~/.mozilla/*.default/persdict.dat, but I could not…

I'm looking for some Firefox (4 or 5) extension to save a group of tabs (better if can be done directly in Panorama view).
What I mean by "Save tabs" is not to restore them when Firefox starts.
I always have the browser opened and a LOT of tabs (work and personal life related) eating my RAM. So when I'm not working, I would…

Hello all...
