2025-03-06 Michael Washboard It works, but not the best option for a search if you have many extensions in your context menu. Using the "Add custom search engine" extension makes searches faster for keyboard users to type something like "@wikt example" in the search bar.

2022-08-30 Yaroslav Works perfectly. Saves a lot of time for me. Many thanks to the author! The only problem is that I will need another extension for the German language, but there exist alternatives to this one.
2021-06-04 Firefox user 13514219 Nice extension but there's one HUGE problem: it opens Wiktionary in the same tab, and there's no going back - the 'back' button simply turns gray
2019-11-23 Sin Jeong-hun Problem: It opens the tab BEFORE the current tab (left of the current tab). This behaviour is weird. FireFox opens new tabs after the current tab (right). Suggestion: Reuse existing tab. Say that I opened "dog" with this extension. Now if I open "cat", it opens a new tab. If this continues, there will be lots of Wiktionary tabs. If there already is a Wiktionary tab that this extension has opened, why not reuse the same tab?

2018-12-10 PERCE-NEIGE Be careful with wiktionary, it's not a reliable dictionary, so be warned. But the extension works perfectly. But I'd like to be able to swich language. I also prefer the popup window rather a focussed new tab page.
