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.
