posted 4 years agoEDIT6: Great, thanks.
EDIT5: Hi, glad to notice you that newest version of v2.6.1 has fixed your problem. Now it'll auto remove the ending of some punctuation signs. And no need to worry about the dict window out of the screen now, it'll be auto detected and fixed. Have a try?
Also, let's keep these conversion here. I think it's fun to let's everyone know how things could be interesting.
EDIT4: Today I got a windows pc, finally I find the should-be reason!! Somehow you might accidentally move the dict window outside of screen. Yes on windows you can do this, then it will remain just at the edge of the screen even when you reopen it. Or you might used dual screen then removed one? So that the dict window might remain outside of the current screen. A feature of this app is to remember the coordinate of the last position you know. How to fix this? Now comes the trick: Right click on the small preview window of the dict, there is a "move" item in the context. Select the Move option. Begin pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the invisible window from off-screen to on-screen. It's like magic, could you have a try? Tell me as soon as you tried, thank you.
EDIT3: OK, I create this issue on github: https://github.com/pnlpal/dictionaries/issues/35, just a reminder for me. I am going to look into it later. BTW your method of reading with auto-scrolling is amazing, can't believe somebody really use it that way. I will try to make it better. Thank you.
-------
Thank you for the feedback. This is interesting. One reason might be somehow the width or height of the dict is stored as 0, which normally should be impossible, but if that happens, the window disappeared. I fixed this by checking the value on initialization. Try again with v2.5.1?
---- update
Appeared then disappeared? weird. it seems not caused by this app, may be the other extensions? Have you tried to disable the others? Also this is not a good place to trace the problem. Could I contact you on Telegram or Discord? The links are in the description.
---- update2
What do you mean "some signs after the words causes them not to be recognized"? I don't get it. Which dictionary are you using? Do you have twitter or github account? A github issue is the best. Otherwise twitter is ok, right? Need your help, thx.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Matt, 3 months agoI really like the simplicity of this app. It just works exactly as it says. There does seem to be a bug with the setting to disable the Captions YouTube link. Every time I disable it and it comes right back the next time I restart Firefox. It's not a big deal but it is annoying.

posted 3 months agoIt should work correctly. Could you try to remove some of the word history then save the settings again? It could be that the storage of the addon has been used up so that the settings are not persisted. - Rated 5 out of 5by jug, 7 months agoExcellent, couldn't find a better one than this.
Edit: There, fixed it.
+A request-can you try to make the Pop-up bubble pop up faster? or does it depend on the internet speed?
thank you,much appreciated. bless youDeveloper response
posted 7 months agoEdit: Thanks Pal. I am gonna look into the speed issue in the next version.
Thank you. is it why you give a 4 stars? - Rated 5 out of 5by Supy153, 7 months ago- |||| Hey, I can't rate the words anymore after this new update and It's been a while, but before when I opened the pop-up, the search bar would be selected automatically. It was really convenient. I would really appreciate it if you could fix all this.
Edit: I can rate the words again, thank you. The issue with the search bar didn't change, but ok. And It's a little bit laggy now when I search a word trough my history. It may be my PC idk.
Edit: The add-on is not laggy, It is the website I was using 💀
Edit: It's all working now. This ESC function is gonna be pretty handy. Thanks.

Edit: Hello, some more feedback here. The window size keep resizing and getting smaller every time I open the pop-up. Could you make it stay always in the same size?Developer response
posted 7 months ago[Edit]: Oops. Thanks again. Autofocus on the search input comes back on v5.1.2 :)
Btw, pressing the ESC key can also put you focus on the input.

- Rated 5 out of 5by uynayz, 9 months agoEDIT: It works the same as before! i 100% reccomend just like before, this extension is one of the best extensions you can download on your firefox browser, especially if you arent a foreign speaker of english (or other languages this addon provides)
original comment: i absolutely love this add-on, i created an account to rate it.. however there was a tiny issue with it, it stopped working quite recently- im not sure why but it was great until now, 5/5 would reccomend!Developer response

Turns out there are many more issues with Manifest V3 on Firefox, so I rolled back to manifest v2 after V5.1.0. I believe the newest version works perfectly on any firefox version now. Check it out.

Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it. However, what is the function that stopped working? It sounds very serious. I am very actively developing and testing it now. It seems all working for me. Can you give me more clue? Please create an issue on github or at our community website pnlpal.dev so that we can communicate further on the issues. - Rated 5 out of 5by ttuygun, a year ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by nomadrc, 2 years agoThe best and most comprehensive dictionary extension I've ever used by far. Sometimes however the 'mouse-over-a-word-for-a-definitions-popup' function, will stop working and I need to restart my browser to fix it. Otherwise I love this extension. I am using a non-standard browser (LibreWolf, a fork of Firefox), so this could conceivably be the issue since I haven't tested if it happens in other browsers.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Shifat, 2 years agoI finally found the best dictionary after trying so many. Simply a fantastic experience.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Максим, 2 years agoOne of the best if not the best dictionary extension! I'm impressed by the features it has. Kudos to its author. But I don't understand why it's so underrated here, not so much users and feedback. It deserves more!
