User reviews
Works MUCH better than Dictionary Anywhere, (which doesn't work at all), I can tell you that. It takes you to a different page but it works. The redirect is likely why this add on isn't more popular.

I like this add-on for several reasons. It does not just provide a single cryptic definition of a word, but rather opens The Free Dictionary web page for that word. You then have access to all of the information for that word.
Also, you have immediate and direct access to the Thesaurus. Since it is activated by double clicking a word, you do have to be careful with those double clicks.
