Firefox already has a dictionary-search built in - If you go to the URL bar, and type in : dict [word] and go, it’ll go to the dictionary.com page for that word (Or the suggested-spellings). There’s similar ones for “wiki [word]” (Generally goes to the Wikipedia page for the word, although it sometimes goes to the first search result for what you enter), “slang [word] (Goes to urbandictonary.com), and a few others I’ve forgotten about
