This is a feature I have dearly missed since migrating from Chrome. Currently it is only accessible through ctrl + cmd +d or using three-finger click.

Need this so bad. Love Firefox on macOS, but it really needs the native look up feature. Chrome has it, Firefox should too.

I'm finally leaving Chrome and migrating my workflow to Firefox (which I used years ago). But it feels like Firefox is missing some basic modern functions, I'm having to install lots of extensions to fill the gaps. But this is a big one, not having native Lookup in the right click/context menu. It's clunky and ruins workflow when the only right-click option is to open a generic google search in a completely different tab... considering a dictionary and thesaurus are already designed to pop up in one small unobtrusive space. It is there, I can access it with a 3-finger tap on a trackpad and don't understand why it's not in the FF context menu. I often work on an external monitor/keyboard setup and don't usually have a trackpad available. Please turn this basic utility on. Reading through forums people have been requesting this for years.

Just an fyi, that it might be either accessible via the 3-finger-tab - as already mentioned - or the so called force click: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102309
