How it works

Double-click any word on a web page. A small definition bubble appears next to your cursor with meanings, part of speech, and pronunciation when available.

Use the toolbar button to open the full dictionary panel. Type a word, pick a language, and read longer entries with links to Wiktionary.

Why you might like it

Fast — definitions show up right where you are reading
Free — no subscription and no API keys to set up
Works on most sites — any normal http or https page
Many languages — Arabic, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Czech, Dutch, English (UK & US), French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Slovak, Spanish, and Turkish
Listen — tap the speaker icon to hear pronunciation when audio is available
Light or dark — follow your system theme or choose one in settings

Privacy

Lookup history is optional and stored only on your device
No remote telemetry — usage stats never leave your browser
Words you have looked up before may be cached locally so repeat lookups are quicker

Settings

Open Add-ons → Dictionary on Click → Preferences (or right-click the toolbar icon → Manage Extension → Preferences) to change:

Dictionary language and translation target
Theme (system, light, or dark)
Whether to save history
Export or clear history and diagnostics

If a definition looks wrong, use the report button on a lookup — reports stay on your device until you export them.

Where definitions come from

Definitions are fetched from free public sources, mainly Wiktionary. English lookups may also use the Free Dictionary API and Datamuse. Content is shown under their licenses; full attribution is on the options page.

Getting started

Install the add-on
Pin Dictionary on Click from the puzzle-piece menu in the toolbar
Double-click a word on any page — or click the icon to search manually

Is Dictionary on Click Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Dictionary on Click requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
Critical ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** *************** ************** ************** ****************** ************
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Dictionary on Click is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.

Risk likelihood analysis details

High This extension was recently updated in the past month. New updates may not be stable or safe.
