- Rated 5 out of 5by pauloMatsui, 2 years agoFirefox 105.0.1 and macOS Monterey 12.6: plugin working like a charm. I've been stuck with Firefox to work (I rather use Safari) and I was *badly* missing 'Lookup'. Thank you, Emmanuel!
- Rated 5 out of 5by zensir, 3 years agoI works fantastically in my Big Sur macbook. What you have to do is to allow firefox to always run the MacOS Dictionary by typing "dict://test". in the address field of your FF browser and click "always..." and now it will always work.

This extension adds a "Lookup in dictionary" option when you right click a selected word on a page. What this does is open the as "dict://". You can try the same thing from the browser bar. E.g. type "dict://test". I noticed that I first had to use the "dict://" URI from the browser bar manually and associate it with the OSX Dictionary application before the plugin would actually do something for me. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14314266, 3 years agoworks as expected on Big Sur 11.2.3 and Firefox 87

- Rated 5 out of 5by S0LEX, 4 years agoExtremely small app which requires no dodgy permissions as it uses the mac's built-in dictionary. Nice.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Damon, 6 years agoUPDATE: I can't get this to work on MacOS 10.15.7 either, for both Firefox 84 Beta and Firefox 83. Tried granting Firefox.app Full Disk Access in System Preferences -> Privacy, to no avail.
Uses the in-built MacOS Dictionary.app rather than leaking your dictionary requests to online services. Works as advertised. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13921113, 6 years ago
