Pop-Up Dictionary

Pop-Up Dictionary on selected word. You can use dictionary sites which provide better and more detailed definitions than e.g. google translate.
Pop-Up Dictionary is a Firefox add-on that allows you to translate selected words on-the-fly using online dictionary sites. It supports multiple dictionaries and even allows you to define your own custom dictionary sites. The add-on logs the dictionary chosen for each web page you visit, making future translations seamless.

It works, but on every page I visit, it says that a script is blocking the direct opening, it shows "open PUD", and only when clicking it, it opens up the popup with the definition. So, no problem, it works, but there's probably something that bugs a little, as there's this warning message. The brilliant point is that we can add custom dictionaries!

If you find a way to make it work without the need to watch a SILENT how-to video, I'll come back to try it. In the meantime, I'll find an alternative.

Works somewhat. I added google translate and had to set it to open in a new tab, otherwise it wouldn't work (a green prompt). As of now I can double tap a word and it will open in google translate, but the annoying prompt is still there. I use Android. To conclude, three stars.
