MacOS "Look up" feature is not avaible on Firefox
Hi,
I have been looking for the option "Look Up" that is a native feature on MacOS and it is available in the context menu on all apps, usually.
Unfortunately, I can not find it on Firefox and no way to enable it as far I can tell.
The feature allows a quick preview of the word dictionary or thesaurus just like this sshot hosws: http://dns.d.pr/NFWD/4yuEQfw5 The contextual menu shows like this: http://dns.d.pr/q2C2/3E466VrU
Is there an option for this somewhere hidden or as an extension?
Thank you

Hi !
Could this be what you're looking for:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/look-up-in-dictionary-7261/
@Happy112,
Thank you for your answer but unfortunately this is not what I was looking for. This basically opens the Dictionary app: http://dns.d.pr/R2Ym/5A9iRMNM
I am looking for a preview of the dictionary without opening the app itself. It should all open in the browser just like this: http://dns.d.pr/Qvla/3EXLDOnI
Thank you all.
Would you try and see if you can find it here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
I have been trying to find an addon for months, nothing so far.
The most strange thing is that this is a feature available in most (if not all) MacOS apps. All browsers have it: Safari, Chrome, even Opera. Why / how did Firefox disable it?
I hope there is an easy solution to tweak this on Firefox. It really affects my productivity when I am in the writing mode / blogging.
Thank you.
Sure wish I could have found it for you (sorry ! )
You know what ? Why don't you submit your ideas/suggestions here:
