Mac OS has a very handy "look up" option when you highlight a word and right click (i.e. two-finger tap) on it, which opens up a definition of the highlighted word in the dictionary app. This appears to work in Chrome and other programs but not Firefox. Sad!

Hi

This sounds really cool and very useful, but if you cannot find it (or something similar) at addons.mozilla.org, it may be the case that the independent developer for that add-on has not created a version for Firefox.

The good news is that it is even easier to create a version of a chrome extension for Firefox Quantum with our new add-ons architecture. I recommend that you contact the developer and ask for a Firefox version to be made.
