Remove word from firefox dictionary

In the dictionary I had installed, there are misspelled words. Originally, I thought I have added them accidentally, however, after going to my profile (%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\as6zjsxj.default) and editing persdict.dat I found out that they come from the original dictionary, not my modifications.

I just don't understand why there's no "Remove from dictionary" context menu item.

You can use Add to Dictionary to add you own modifications to the spell checker.

To modify entries in the built-in or in an installed dictionary you would have to edit the used dictionary file directly on disk, either in the dictionaries folder in the Firefox program folder or in the extensions folder in the Firefox profile folder.
