I've gone from Firefox version 3 on an old computer to v6 on a new computer. I saved my personal dictionary file from v3 but can't figure out how to install it in v6; it apparently doesn't live in the same place or have the same file name. How can I use this file so I won't have to start building a new personal dictionary all over again?

You can copy the file persdict.dat from the profile folder of the old computer to the Firefox Profile Folder on the new computer.
