av Firefox-användare 15053446, för 7 år sedanHi 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

- Betygsatt 3 av 5av Engineer Gaming, för en dag sedanThis piece of sh*t never ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT THE WORDS MEAN WHEN I DOUBLE CLICK. How do you not know what turgid means? It's been a word since the 1600s. Jesus christ
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 16885962, för 2 dagar sedanIt does not define anything anymore, even simple words.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av bishwodahal, för 10 dagar sedanI used this extension for a long time, but it stopped working completely since past couple of months.
I have been using this "Dictionary on Click" addon, it supports meanings, pronunciation, and parts of speech too. - Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 17275815, för 20 dagar sedanUsed to work perfectly. Now it's useless, broken, garbage. Any word, including basic words like the word "word", just shows "No definition found."
Worthless in its current state.
Use "Dictionariez: Your Dictionary, Your Language" instead. It actually works. - Betygsatt 1 av 5av dzhmil, för 22 dagar sedanIt inexplicably stopped functioning a month or so ago :-( Which is a huge shame because I found this extension extremely useful while it lasted! I hope its developer finds the time to fix it at some point

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Alexaction, för en månad sedanAnother extension plagued with abandonment issues, such a shame.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Vivek, för en månad sedanI think this add-on is now unmaintained. The definitions for the words doesn't so up. "Sorry no definition found" appears even for a word like "navigate".
This add-on appears to be really buggy and even then this retains recommended badge by mozilla. - Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 17743303, för 2 månader sedanDoesn't work. No Definition found is all you get now.
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av stk1, för 2 månader sedanThis extension just doesnt work at all. All the words I highlight say no definition found
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Moo, för 2 månader sedanDoesn't work at all anymore, sad :( Hard to find extensions like these, many don't work anymore.
- Betygsatt 4 av 5av Firefox-användare 18984254, för 2 månader sedanwould love this. the only problem is it doesnt support multiple languages at the same time.
- Betygsatt 4 av 5av MrMoodle, för 2 månader sedanI 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.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av faird, för 3 månader sedanThe addon is abandoned. It doesn't work any more and the dev is ignoring the submitted fix: github.com/meetDeveloper/Dictionary-Anywhere/pull/85
- Betygsatt 2 av 5av bryanmac199, för 3 månader sedanI've used this extension for years, and found it was a must-have for me, even at work. However, it no longer works.
