mid - Mozilla Internet Dictionary

Installation

mid will be installed in your personal profile's mozilla/firefox folder.
After installation close all running browsers and restart a new one.
You will have a new Mozilla Internet Dictionary item in the Tools menu to start mid
You can also start mid from the comand line:

your_mozilla_browser -chrome chrome://mid/content

for example, in windows: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe" -chrome chrome://mid/content

You can make a shortcut on your desktop for starting mid easily. A good way to make a shortcut:
- 1. Copy your firefox/mozilla icon on your desktop
- 2. Rename the copy to "mid" or "mozilla internet dictionary"
- 3. Modify the properties of the new shortcut by appending the "Target:" field by

-chrome chrome://mid/content (outside the "-s)

so the target field sould look like this:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe" -chrome chrome://mid/content

The above examples are for Windows. GNU/Linux has various GUIs, most of them are capable to create application shortcuts, too.

Uninstallation:

You can deinstall mid by executing the following steps:

Firefox 0.9 and later versions

From Firefox 0.9 on, there is a new Extension Manager, and mid complies with it. So it can be easily uninstalled from the Extension Manager.

Mozilla/Netscape

Go to your personal profile's chrome folder.
Remove the chrome.rdf file and then the mid directory.
Restart your browser. Mozilla is to rebuild the missing chrome.rdf.

Good luck!

Install mid version 0.8.4

You can also download the file and install it locally. Open the downloaded mid_0.8.4.xpi from Mozilla, install mid, and restart Mozilla.
