- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14519704, 6 years agoBefore I used Rikaichan and back then you could use the extension with pdf files open with firefox as well. For some reason, now pdf files opened with firefox will not show the pop-up window. Can you fix this? Also, if you could make this work with epub files it would be awesome.
EDIT: Thanks a lot for clarifying this problem, I have edited my review as this is something that the extension itself cannot solve. I used the link that you provided, this opens some unrelated pdf file and from then I opened my own pdf file within the same window and the plugin now works as it did before. Can you please explain what's special about that pdf tab that makes the extension work?Developer response
posted 6 years agoUnfortunately there's nothing I can do about PDF files for now due to changes in Firefox that mean extensions can't interact with the PDF viewer (see bug 1454760 - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1454760). Some people have been able to work around this by using the PDF viewer at https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html and then opening a different file from the toolbar in the upper right. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14519666, 6 years agoIt would be nice if you include other languages (strongly request russian jmdict) and also "kirei cake"

posted 6 years agoThank you! I'm working on supporting other languages. It will take some time, however. - Rated 5 out of 5by Azarilh, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14273877, 6 years agoNice replacement for Rikai-chan.
I only miss the lookup bar. I use the lookup bar to look up words (from other programs, printed media, etc.). As a workaround, I currently use the lookup bar from Rikai-chan in Thunderbird.Developer response
posted 6 years agoThanks for the suggestion! I'll work on adding the lookup bar back (I have a few other features to fix first, however). - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14249466, 6 years agodoesn't work with touchscreen
edit: ok you're technically right so I'll change my ratingDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoI think that's clear from the add-on description (there is no hovering on touchscreens) so I don't think a 1/5 rating is fair.
That said, I'd like to make this support Android some day so perhaps we can address touchscreens at the same time.
Update: It now has first class support for touchscreens. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12850698, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kevin, 6 years agoExcelent replacement for the old rikaichan. I hope you can keep updating it every month, please.
Thank you! - Rated 5 out of 5by ゲンクロー義経, 6 years agoOne of the best tools (if not the best) I've used so far as many legacy add-ons became non compliant ever since. It's pretty neat, lightweight, reliable, doesn't seem to eat up your RAM as others do and It gets updates as well :) Otherwise I'd be utterly lost as I depend on it so much.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13469472, 6 years agoGreat add-on.
+1 for the lookup bar. It's much faster to search for a word on the lookup bar -and be able to do it offline- than having to go to a dictionary/jisho website. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14175714, 6 years agoIt seems to be better than the others, but I wonder if we can get the lookup bar that rikaisama had. I used the lookup bar mainly for Kanji. If I'd like to know about a kanji I saw on a sign or something. Also, I use it to look up names. Since Kanji has a meaning, sometimes I look them up to see what names I'd like to name a character (person). I was able to see a list of names that use that kanji. I also used it as a dictionary when reading books.

posted 6 years agoOh, interesting. What do you use the lookup bar for? I've never found it useful. - Rated 5 out of 5by YoruNoHikage, 6 years ago

Hi Mr. Birtles, I've recently updated and while it seems to work much better (thank you very much for fixing this!) I now intermittently run into an issue where the application sits in constant 'Rikaichamp loading...'. This is already noted on the Github issues tracking list however, and a simple browser restart solves it.

I will echo the sentiments of the user below this review -- I have noticed the exact same issue. The extension will not work at all until you toggle it off and back on. It is quite an aggravating issue that I'd ask the developer to please have a look at.Developer response
posted 6 years agoI'm sorry about the problems. I hope this problem is fixed now in 0.0.16. Please give it a try! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13983817, 7 years agoOften when I scroll over text, this extension will do nothing until I turn it off and on again. It happens so often as to be incredibly frustrating. I really liked this extension otherwise.
