Re: [ubuntu-uk] Firefox v2.0 and spell checker file
Yes that's the file (persdict.dat, in the .mozilla directory), thanks to all who helped out. I think I'll start backing this up and combining with other user dictionaries. -- Hwyl/Regards Llywelyn Owen -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Quick simplification of the above command: since the filenames being
passed from xargs to grep are needed at the end of the grep command,
you can replace it with
find $HOME/.mozilla -type f | xargs grep -H word
Hwyl,

Hey Llywelyn!
Perhaps try this from a terminal
find $HOME/.mozilla -type f | xargs -I {} grep -H word {}
where word is a custom word you have added to your dictionary.
On mine that got me a file called "persdict.dat", but it could be
different on yours hence the find statement. I usually just backup my
whole .mozilla directory anyway.
Good luck!
