Dictionary Lookup

Dictionary Lookup is a Firefox add-on for quickly looking up English definitions from a selected word, the toolbar popup, or a keyboard shortcut. It uses a compact popover inspired by macOS Dictionary while staying within Firefox extension APIs.

Firefox does not expose the same system Dictionary integration that Safari has on macOS, so this add-on fetches definitions from public web APIs instead.
