The built-in Spellcheck with Firefox 2 is great, but it is very easy to accidentally add a word to the dictionary that you didn’t want to. However, it is not so easy to remove the word or words added in error. Actually it is easy to do just not really documented anywhere. After looking around on Google to help a Go Firefox! forum member with this issue, I found the process: Close Firefox (Firefox saves the dictionary file upon closing) Navigate to your profile folder (Locate your profile folder) Look for the file persdict.dat Open with a text-editor • Notepad…
I mentioned earlier in the Weekly Update 2007-08-06 post that there is going to a major update to take TBird users from the 1.5.0.12 to the 2.0.0.6 build. I got to thinking about this and something didn’t make sense. If the Major Update feature is still being tested, how could it be included with TBird 1.5.0.12? I am guessing they meant to say TBird 1.5.0.13, which is in the works. Fx 1.5.0.12 included the Major Update feature, so may be that is where they got 1.5.0.12 from.

On Monday Mitchell posted the article Thunderbird — Differences in response to comments on her Email Call to Action post from last week about the Thunderbird’s Future. Mitchell points out that there seems to be a trend of folks moving away from desktop based e-mail clients (Outlook, Evolution, Thunderbird, etc): Web mail usage grows. Younger generations in particular use other techniques. There are many parts of the world where email is less common than in the US, Western Europe or Japan. For example, in parts of the world where Internet cafes are a major way of accessing the Internet desktop…
