@roohino Hi

Please make sure that you have enabled the auxiliary function permission for Easydict.

Sometimes, due to system bugs, even if you turn on accessibility, it won't work properly, so you need to remove the option and manually click the + in the bottom-left corner to re-add Easydict.

In addition, Safari and Chrome also support AppleScript to fetch words in addition to system Accessibility, but unfortunately Firefox doesn't support it.

Got the similar issue, EasyDict doesn't work for firefox. Following other similar fixing, I added firefox bundle id org.mozilla.firefox to kAXErrorAttributeUnsupported and enabled the setting: Force get selected text .... (Experimental), it works now.

Let me know if you prefer to fixing it by yourself or I can send a PR. @tisfeng

Good tool, thank you.

@moroumo Of course, you can submit PRs to the dev branch.

Firefox is one of those special apps that works fine on my computer, but not on some users' computers, like yours 🥲

Hi, the 2.0.1 version has fixed the issue.
