Firefox ユーザー 15053446 によるレビュー (7年前)Hi Suraj, I am enjoying your add-on very much. I have installed (and later uninstalled) several Firefox dictionary add-ons because they did not have the information displayed in a way that was pleasing to me. You seem to have nailed it -- great job!
From the previous reviews I've read, it seems you are keen on obtaining suggestions from your users. I have a few helpful ones for you to take under advisement:
1.) directly beneath the first line where you have the word's syllables, please add the phonetic spelling of the word as well. Furthermore, the screenshots you've provided seem to show a speaker icon which I assume is an audio pronunciation. This was going to be my next suggestion, but after seeing it already shown in your screen shots, I am now thinking that perhaps it is just a bug that needs to be worked out. For your diagnostics, I am running a custom stripped-down bare-bones version of Win10 Pro v.1809 which I obtained from TeamOS.
2.) I would like to be able to verify a definition as I am writing sometimes; however, it appears that the add-on does not allow the user to get a definition pop-up box from a word selected within a textbox element.
3.) many words have multiple meanings and contexts. I would like to see the definition section formatted a bit differently to reflect this fact & for clarity. Specifically, have the word's part of speech (noun, verb, adj, etc.) with it's own CSS style & color scheme indented on the first level, then on the next line & indentation level, show the definition for that particular part of speech. repeat this format for each of the possible parts of speech that any given word may have. This will allow users to ensure they use the word correctly and is a much more thorough implementation structure in my humble opinion.
4.) Finally on to my last suggestion. I would like to see a collapsible link for synonyms and example sentences listed for each word's definition on every possible part of speech variation. When the user clicks the link once, synonyms or example sentences will appear directly below the link. Click once again and they re-hide themselves. For an example see lexico.com, who have a very nice yet minimal & effective implementation of this feature.
I hope that this review proves helpful & gives you a good list of goodies to work on for future releases!
Best,
James

- 5 段階中 1 の評価Firefox ユーザー 17743303 によるレビュー (24日前)Doesn't work. No Definition found is all you get now.
- 5 段階中 4 の評価Firefox ユーザー 18984254 によるレビュー (1ヶ月前)would love this. the only problem is it doesnt support multiple languages at the same time.
- I appreciate this add-on and the work that went into it. One crucial area of improvement to make it much more user-friendly would be to disable the popup in writing/input text fields. I find myself constantly closing the popup in search fields or text input when I'm not interested in definitions, but a word gets highlighted, and it's a nuisance.

- 5 段階中 5 の評価Firefox ユーザー 18599020 によるレビュー (4ヶ月前)Works again, also works much better than Dictionariez which is a scam app and I reported to mozilla.
- 5 段階中 1 の評価Vrako Mugion によるレビュー (6ヶ月前)It was one of the best add on i used daily. But since last few weeks, it shows - "Sorry, No definition found." for every word even the simplest one and I have checked all. Permission, internet connectivity, reinstalling - but no use. It seems this add on is dead.
Developer do something please.. - When it's working, it's great. But it keeps breaking - saying sorry no definition found for every single word. It did that a while ago so I turned it off and found a different add-on, but I didn't like it as much and I forgot why I'd stopped using this one so I turned it back on and it worked for about a day. Then it stopped working again. I see an update note saying this problem was fixed, but it has not been fixed.
