Features & Capabilities

The Word Circle Dictionary provides a dictionary for web-pages. It integrates itself into each visited page by scanning the page's text and reworking it so that each word of the text is highlighted by a colored circle when the mouse pointer hovers over it. The highlighted word can then be clicked to reveal its definition in a window, called the definition box, that can be scrolled, moved, resized, and closed.

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.

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

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.
