dict-extension

This add-on can be installed from the Firefox add-on listing page.

It looks up words by calling dict client on your machine in a subprocess. It can also automatically save words you look up into a list to review later. This extension is for Linux users who use the dict client to look up words. Double click a word on any web page, and the extension will spawn a process to call dict and then display the output in a popup. As an added feature, the words you look up are automatically added to a list for later review.

This addon does not actually implement the DICT protocol, nor call any DICT servers on it's own. It delegates that entirely to the `dict' client on your machine. This extension is quite good and does implement the dict protocol, if that is what you are looking for.
