When I am typing in Word or gmail or anyplace, a dictionary popup stops the typing to tell me the definition of each word or that there are no results in a popup box....it take hours to type simple replies or documents. How do I disable this? I am a computer numskull, older generation type.

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac:<Command>)<Shift> A)

Select Extensions, locate the add-on. From here you can disable or remove it.
