Firefox 2.0 dictionary

How do I edit Firefox's dictionary?  I accidentally added "definately" to it, and it's a common spelling mistake I make.

I always read that common spelling mistake (and not just Scott's) "defin-8-lee".   :P

You have no idea how many words I realized that I was spelling wrong when 2.0 came out. "Definitely" was among them.

Weird was another one.  Most of the ei or ie words look wrong one way or another.  But weird to me didn't look wrong spelled wierd.

Yeah I always spelled it "wierd" because of that "I before E except after C" thingy, but I guess "weird" is just weird.

English is a strange language.
