- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13915540, 7 years agoThis is fairly close to the original Google Dictionary extension on Google Chrome. Is it possible to add options for trigger / hotkeys? i.e. Being able to use Ctrl / Alt / Shift with a click?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13385186, 7 years agoGreat tool. Have to knock a star off for its inability to be read over dark backgrounds.
- Rated 4 out of 5by fkmzblt, 7 years agoI would like to see implemented some kind of automatic input focus
when I click on the extension icon, it will be a lot faster and easier to use.
Other than that, its great. Thank you. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13832010, 7 years agoWorks almost flawlessly. Although this was inspired by the Chrome extension, I would like to see an option to change search engine.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Kevin McCormack, 7 years agoOkay, so far. Works as well as the instructions describe -but time will tell as to its durability!
- Rated 4 out of 5by R. Hansen, 7 years agoLove it. Double-click on a word, up pops the definition. I would like to be able to select dictionaries, maybe localization, and add an entry to the right-click menu (in case double-click doesn't work, strangely on AMO this happens), but this add-on functions as advertised. Well done, krv5vignesh!
- Rated 4 out of 5by cppxor2arr, 7 years agoThis is extension is useful. Easier to double click than open a new tab and google. Although it would be better if you could configure options like only show definition of selected text when you press a key with it (like CTRL). Also, please just make definitions from double clicking a word in the addon's definition box appear in the same place as the original. The definition keeps going off screen.

- Rated 4 out of 5by atleta, 7 years agoPretty neat. The only thing that needs to be fixed is the positioning of the popup when the selected word is at the right or the bottom edge of the screen. An easy solution would be to move it to the left and top if there isn't sufficient space.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Inan Hira, 7 years agoAfter my switch back to Firefox from Chrome, this was one of the features I was missing. This extension works good, and does what it's supposed to do.
- Rated 4 out of 5by JustBoris, 7 years agoThis is an almost wonderful add-on.
The use of double-click is unhelpful because double- or triple- click is used to select a string of text.
How about adding a right-click menu item? or a keyboard hotkey? - Rated 4 out of 5by keb, 7 years agoSimple, lightweight, not intrusive. Would be great if allowed option to link to specific dictionaries.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13563340, 7 years agoThere are only a very limited number of popup dicitonary plugins available for firefox quantum right now. This one does exactly what it says on the tin.
Would be nice if the source dictionaries can be referenced in the plugin description. Also, are there any plans to allow custom website look up? The best English diciotnary site I have come across so far is vocabulary.com. I think it will be worth a looking into as a potential source. - Rated 4 out of 5by Craig, 7 years ago
