There is a Dictionary Tooltip Firefox extension which i am currently using is also easy to use. Just by double clicking the word pops up a tooltip which brings the meaning, history usage and from various websites. Give it a Try.... Good one…I regularly use Google define.

I like the 'quick' definition and the availability of other resources 'right there' if needed! I love learning new words although I try to keep my language in my posts to simple English.

It gives you access to 986 different dictionaries, including specialized dictionaries--though it does give you a "quick definition," as well (while also listing the major general dictionaries that define your word.) Another neat thing it offers is a reverse dictionary feature. Very interesting site! I know you're looking for "quick" here, and One Look's "quick definition" does fit that criterion. At the same time, if you should need them, you'll also have access to the other references and features that are available at this site.

Thanks buddy. I have used Hyperwords before but I am not sure why I got rid of it. I guess I'll have to try it again to remind myself.. but something like that is very useful and I think there is a couple of other extensions that were close to it as well. Thanks for the reminder. :smile: Hey Shankar! Thanks buddy. I have used Hyperwords before but I am not sure why I got rid of it.

I was a fan of Google define operator, and had been using it regularly. But one day, I found out HyperWords FF extension, and all my definitions are just a right click away now. It can fetch meanings from many sources including Google, Wikipedia, etc. Hey nice tools there.
