Look-ups always have "Sorry no definition found"
I noticed today. Look-ups always have "Sorry no definition found" Firefox Nightly 136.0a1 (2025-01-10) (64-bit).
Same problem here. (Firefox on Linux, 133.0.3 (64-bit)) I can imagine that it's hard to keep up with problems. Do you have any idea of if, and if so, when, it might get fixed? This is one of my very favorite extensions. I'm constantly looking up definitions.
Inspecting the extension on Firefox, the issue is that Google now responds the search request with a redirect page instead of the results.
"Please click here if you are not redirected within a few seconds."
Same here. Firefox 134.0.2 (64-bit), Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
I checked the extension, and tried to search for the meaning some words.
While inspecting using the "web developer tools", I noted the extension made a request with the following format:
"https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define+leather&gl=US".
If I perform that request from a web browser URL, in the chain of requests that are made, the first request to that URL returns an output like:
and then, all other requests proceed until the expected result is finally shown.
However, the extension internally, despite receiving a response code 200, had the following response body:
The extension's source code is trying to get a querySeletector output of a document from the first request, but the document does not contain the expected data yet.
I hope you find this information useful.
Thanks.
having same issue version 133, updated to version 134.0.2 (64 bit) still having same problem, using macbook pro
Any chance this app getting revived?
I don't know if it's ethical to refer to another application here, but I'm going to anyway because this one is apparently dead.
I started using Dictionary Plus, which works exactly the same way and so far so good.

I was considering forking this repo since it's dead but did a quick search to be sure of anything else and found another one called Definer which is pretty feature rich. Either way, looks like there's better options available at this point. RIP Dictionary Anywhere.

Indeed, you can even quickly search a term in any search engine, including wikipedia! But! It's not open source!
I would recommend forgetting about Dictionary Anywhere. I've started using Definer - Popup Dictionary & Translator, which offers more than just a dictionary, and there's an impressive set of options.
Unfortunately, I have lost access to MFA codes as they were present in my earlier phone (didn't have backup codes) of my Mozilla account and therefore not able to update the extension to resolve this issue.
I have raised a query on support email and waiting for its reply. I am really sorry for the trouble. I am looking for other ways to reach Mozilla staff to get this problem resolved.
I have opened a support ticket here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1493702. Can you guys upvote it or comment on it so that Mozilla can look into that ticket on urgency.
