I'm hooked on the ninjaword FARR plugin! 







I know the world is full of fantastic dictionaries etcetera, but it is so easy (and common) for me to merely Ctrl+RightClick and see the result at once in Babylon, that I almost never will search another place.Curt, I almost started my message (right above yours) by saying that the first place I generally turn for translating to/from English is Babylon. I didn't say that because 1) I interpreted the original message as asking about online resources, and 2) when I want to get an even better sense of which word to use and why, I'll turn to WordReference.com. It covers many words and expressions that Babylon omits, and it often offers more nuanced information about usage. But I agree that Babylon is terrific.
Did someone author a script for Firefox, for 'Google Define'?
You can easily add a "search engine" to firefox for almost every site that has a search form: just right-click into the search field and select "Add a Keyword for this search...", give it a name and a (preferably short) keyword.
Now you can type "<keyword> <search query>" in the address bar and firefox will open the search results of that site. I use it frequently for dict.cc and wikipedia, where this approach works very well. Search forms that are submitted by POST are harder or impossible to use this way.
