Dictionary double-click does not pop up in Firefox PDF viewer #28

Just installed extension, checked that boolean was enabled. When using the built-in PDF viewer on Firefox, there is no popup.

Sorry for the delay in reply, I will look into this. There are some improvements and features I am thinking for the extension. Will do these changes in one sweep

@MasonGreen365 Sorry for inconvenience, This can't be fixed because firefox does not allow content script to run in pdf.

Uhh, I miss this tool in PDF so much :/

Read Aloud add-on works in PDF files. Maybe something has changed? 🤔 BTW. I can help with that. I am going to research this topic soon.
