They don't close when you release right-click, they don't contain services, they don't select the word you are on.

That's the stuff I've noticed in the couple of days I've been using Firefox.

One of the things that I use a lot that isn't on there is the "Look up" function/service to get the definitions of words from the dictionary, wiki, etc. Super useful and I miss it so much after switching from Safari.

If you hover the cursor over the word and hit command control d, you’ll get the definition in Firefox.

That's helpful. Thanks. Would still like for it to be in the context menu, though, but this will do in a pinch.

Another trick if you have the new "Magic" trackpads: Select the word, place three fingers on the pad, press down (force press), and you can see the definition of the selected word (will be highlighted in yellow).

Being inconsistent with the operating system and removing OS functionality is petty bullshit? Okay then.

How is that removing if it wasn't there in the first place (AFAIK)?
