- Rated 2 out of 5by reality bytes, 2 months agoI really want to like this because when it works it works but it frequently just crashes and the pop up refuses to leave the screen

- Rated 2 out of 5by Rove, 2 years agoIt only shows "No definition found" now
What happened? It used to work mostly fine. It does not recognize any word now - Rated 2 out of 5by RaMon, 3 years agothe French dictionary is very incomplete. This makes this extension completely useless at least for this language

- Rated 2 out of 5by Dangme, 3 years agoPretty disappointed. I wanted a dictionary for words I don't know, however the dictionary is apparently fairly basic. It *does* work, it just doesn't contain multiple uncommon words I tried.
- Rated 2 out of 5by cwid, 3 years agogood idea, but uncommon words are not often defined (you know, the sort of words you need a dictionary for)

- Rated 2 out of 5by KorvinSilver, 4 years agoMostly works but there are problems with it that make it just barely okay. First, double clicking a word in an edit field brings up the definition. That shouldn't happen or there should be an option to disable it. If I double click a word in a text area, I don't want its definition, I want to do something with it, maybe style it or replace it with something else, but this extension often makes that difficult. Then the popup. It's sometimes slow but worse is that if the text I double click is on the right side of the screen, the popup bubble doesn't change direction and it partially appears outside the screen.

posted 4 years agoYou can have trigger key setup, so that just clicking double click won't show popup and you can have shift etc key along with it to show the popup, it is present in extension options. I will look into how I can have option that disable popup in text area. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13433786, 4 years agoWanted context-menu definition, but instead it pops up on EVERY double-click, which is annoying.
