As a curious person for whom English is their second language, I find this impacting how likely I am to look up a word I don't know.

I use a different browser as my primary browser each year, this year it's Firefox. I'm quite likely considering making that permanent, but having moved from Safari and Chrome, I find absence of this quite bothering my curious mind :)

For non-native people like me, this feature is very important. Please solve this bug

Firefox does support the "Look Up" feature via three-finger tap on a trackpad, if enabled in System Preferences. If using a mouse, another workaround is using the commercial app BetterTouchTool to assign e.g. option-right-click, or a keyboard shortcut, e.g. control-command-L, to the "Lookup Word Under Cursor" action. I don't know if there's a free solution for that. It doesn't seem to be possible using the Mac's native keyboard shortcut system. Having it in the context menu as expected would be best, and I imagine it wouldn't be terribly difficult given that the function itself actually works already. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to contribute a patch.

I'm using a desktop, so can not do it. My current solution is maintaining a Google Translate tab and switch to copy and paste. It's a crazy waste of time, just hope that Firefox can fix it soon

Would it help this bug get some traction if it was filed under Accessibility instead of just Enhancement? It's a usability feature and I would think a little higher priority than just a "nice-to-have" enhancement.

Either case, this is primarily a "me too" comment - would love to see this fixed! 🙏🏼

If someone knows what needs to happen on the frontend side this is what it should hook up to on the platform side https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1735956#c1
