New Features in version 0.8 and fixes from old version 0.7.2:

  • Added couple of japanese dictionaries(http://e-words.jp, http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/) and a malay dictionary(http://www.karyanet.com.my). Also, added the thesaurus (http://www.thesaurus.com).
  • Fixed a bug. Now it works in pages with frames also (ex. gmail). 
  • Added a full screen button. Clicking on which opens a new tab with the dictionary url. (Thanks to Yukichi for adding this and also the japanese dictionaries) .

New Features in version 0.7.1 and fixes from old version 0.6:

  • Fixed a security bug and enhanced the selection of the word (removed the special characters from the word while searching, etc) 
  • Provided an option for resetting the dictionaries in the options box. This would default to the "www.thefreedictionary.com".

New Features in version 0.5 and fixes from old version 0.4.1:

  • Provided support for Firefox 1.5 beta and Mozilla Suite 
  • Customizable keyboard shortcut-key (Ctrl+Shift+your_key) in the options box (ctrl+shift+D is default)  
  • Gives an option "View Definition" in the right-click context menu (useful for viewing the meaning of any hyperlinks) 
  • Gives an option to use "Ctrl" key along with "double-click" (double-click may be used for selecting the word as usual. Ctrl+double-click can give its definition in the tooltip)  
  • Provides an ability to specify the dimensions of the tooltip in the options (do not try keeping small numbers as you cannot see anything :) ) 
  • Fixed the tooltip history problem (not entirely though)(DO NOT USE BACK, FORWARD, RELOAD BUTTONS WHEN THE TOOLTIP IS ACTIVE. Close the tooltip and navigate as you like) (It was very tough to get this functionality :) ) 
  • Fixed the problems with Firefox, TabMix, DictionarySearch (found that a single line was causing these problems) 
  • Last but not the least, provided support for different dictionaries like www.dictionary.com, www.wordreference.com, dictionaries.travlang.com. Also translation from English to different languages like Spanish, French, Italian, German, Dutch 

Features:

  • Shows the meaning of the selected word in a scrollable tooltip by double-clicking or by pressing ctrl+shift+D  
  • Press any key or click on the page to hide the tooltip  
  • Provides a mechanism to enable (or) disable the double-click option in the extension's options box (this is particulary useful for those who feel double-click annoying)ie. go to "Tools", "Extensions", "Dictionary Tip" and then click "options" in the dialog box.
  • Enables double-click capability in the tooltip also (but not recommended)
  • Works in PC and Linux (didn't test in Mac)
