Can't find dictionary in context menu

Firefox Settings

I have the latest English United States Dictionary extension installed and it works for spellcheck OK. Is there a way to use the dictionary to look up a definition? I have tried several extensions, but they all require linking to and opening a separate page. I'm used to the ability in Safari to look up a definition in the context menu. Is that possible with Firefox?

Hello   Ken Creary,

Maybe you'd like to give (one of) these add-ons a try :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/look-up-dict-by-uri-scheme/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lookup-in-dictionary/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/thefreedictionarycom-lookup/

Any good ?

The "Look Up In Dictionary Using Right Click" seems to work OK. Thanks!
