    Look in your profile folder. It ought to be:

    C:/Documents and Settings/ -you-/ Application Data/ Mozilla Firefox/ Profiles/ -yours-.default.
    Application Data is a hidden folder. Use Detail View.
    .
    Find the file: persdict.dat
    That's where your dictionary additions are.
    .
    Exit Firefox.
    .
    Open persdict.dat in a text editor. it's a text file. I use SciTE. Notepad doesn't work so well.
    Find the word you want to delete, and do so.
    .
    Save it. Quit the text editor. You're done.
    .
