The perfect solution of course being a native (or seemingly so) integration where cmd+ctrl+d brings up the little definition popup, but this one is good enough for me (for now).

One request - Is it possible to make it so the 'Look Up in Dictionary' menu item is available even without highlighting the word? I've seen this implemented in other plugins, it'll be great if I don't have to painstakingly highlight the exact word every time I want to look something up.

Arigatou!

I wish that I didn't have to have the dictionary.app running before I could look up a word! I also wish that I could get the in-browser mini-window like I do in Safari. Otherwise, it is a good alternative!

Finally here is the lovely dictionary plugin that allows me to totally discard the safari browser.

Hmm. I can't seem to be able to install it. What could be wrong?

An excellent Firefox extension for Mac OS X users -- "Look Up in Dictionary" creates fast and nearly seamless integration between Firefox and the Apple Dictionary App that's built into OS X. Although in some ways it's not quite as robust or universal as, say, David Costanzo's "Dict" Firefox Add-On or the (very powerful but Windows-only) program WordWeb, it's still an essential Firefox extension for modern Mac OSX users, since it offers such clean and fast integration with the operating system's own dictionary/thesaurus app.

Wish-list for future releases: An easy to remember keyboard shortcut (WordWeb's Ctrl-Alt-W and/or Apple's Ctrl-Cmd-D); and the ability to look up words from text-boxes, forms, and search-boxes.

Perhaps David Costanzo's "Dict" Firefox Add-On -- or apsects of its code -- could one day be merged with Macaw's Look Up in Dictionary Firefox Add-On . . . Unlike "Look Up" 0.2, "Dict" allows users to look up words from text-boxes within the browser -- but, on the other hand, "Dict" doesn't allow the user to choose the Apple OS X Dictionary.app program as a look-up engine, and instead relies on Javascript and online dictionary servers (which aren't always reliable). A best-of-both-worlds add-on would likely allow users the flexibility of using internal (app/software)and external (online) dictionaries as look-up options, providing fast and reliable Dictionary.app integration along with text-box Look Up options, hotkey lookup, etc.

Adds "Look up in dictionary" to the menu just like safari. But the shortcut for launching dictionary (Control+Command+D) when the cursor is on a word, doesn't work.

Works great, even faster than Safari, I think.

This is important: if you are having trouble getting it to install due to corruption errors or hash errors, you need to enable third-party cookies.
