yes, I also miss that feature in Firefox. A sacrifice they choose over their own custom popup with Pocket and "Take a Screenshot"(great feature!), I guess.

Firefox has search in the right click menu. Select anything, right click and 'search with Google/ddg'

“Look up” is a macOS feature that can look up a word in the system Dictionary or Wikipedia. It can be activated by force-clicking or tapping with three fingers on a trackpad Mac, and by a right-click menu options in some apps (Firefox isn’t one of them) on all Macs. It is distinct from search.

The problem with force clicking is that the user doesn’t get to decide the string that is passed to the dictionary, instead a word boundary algorithm decides the word.
This algorithm doesn’t work very well on CJK-languages.
My biggest gripe with FF on MacOS is that they don't include "look up "x"" in the right-click menu.
The PiP in Firefox is a lot better than in Safari. I do wish FF came with better tools for opening PiP for videos that on purpose or on accident hides the PiP-button.
I also think that Safari's back-gesture is a huge plus.
