on a mac....I added a mis-spelled word to firefox dict. I found tutorials for how to remove. Following these, I went into library>application support and I don't have a firefox folder there. I also used finder to look for the persdict.dat file and nothing. Help please.

Copy and Paste this code in the Code field in the "Tools > Error Console" and click the Evaluate button to see the location of the profile folder.

alert(Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/directory_service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIProperties).get("ProfD", Components.interfaces.nsIFile).path);
