User reviews

The Firefox add-on 'Dictionary Anywhere' was highly praised for its usefulness and quick access to word definitions when it worked. However, multiple users now report that it no longer functions, consistently showing 'definition not found' errors. The add-on appears abandoned, with no fixes for several months. It also struggles with word variations and plurals, reducing its effectiveness. Overall, while it once served users well, its current lack of functionality is a major drawback.

Pros

Was very useful and one of the user's favorite extensions when it was functional.
Had a user-friendly interface allowing quick access to word definitions.
Attracted positive reviews when working, with some users giving it 5 stars in the past.

Cons

Currently does not work; most reviews report it cannot find definitions for any word.
No updates or fixes for many months, indicating the add-on may be abandoned by its developer.
Fails to recognize plural forms or word variations, limiting usability.
Reinstallation and restarts do not resolve the issue, suggesting a more fundamental problem with compatibility or functionality.
