    I've just discovered how useful the ctrl+cmd+D function is in Safari. Does anyone know if it is possible to get this to work in Firefox?

    Until firefox is 100% Cocoa my guess is you would need a extension at the very least.

    yeah I don't think it is really possible at this point unfortunately, that is such an awesome tool.

    but you can always just use spotlight to lookup words as well, but that feature is so darn elegant and simple.
