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

@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.

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.
