I have the latest English United States Dictionary extension installed and it works for spellcheck OK. Is there a way to use the dictionary to look up a definition? I have tried several extensions, but they all require linking to and opening a separate page. I'm used to the ability in Safari to look up a definition in the context menu. Is that possible with Firefox?
