How to disable Firefox mixed content blocking
Sometimes you come across a site where it tries to display an HTTP iframe inside the main HTTPS page. This is not allowed in newer versions of Firefox, for a good intention - it prevents a user from entering sensitive information inside an unencrypted HTTP frame, thinking of it being protected by an HTTPS encryption. This, however, causes some sites to not function properly including the Popupdict plug-in, which may display an unencrypted dictionary translation inside an encrypted page.
To circumvent this restriction, assuming you know what you are doing, you can change a setting flag in the Firefox config page:
Change the security.mixed_content.block_active_content to false will do the trick.
NOTE: Please make sure you understand the security implications of doing this.

I have written a Firefox extension: Pop-Up Dictionary on selected word. You can use dictionary sites which provide better and more detailed definitions than e.g. google translate.
This extension makes use of on-line dictionary sites to translate selected words on-the-fly on a pop-up box.
It supports the following functions:
- Multiple dictionary sites can be defined
- Users can define custom dictionary sites (just input the url of the dictionary sites as "http://www.your-favourite-dict-site.com/$$". The $$ is a place-holder for the word to be translated.
- This extension will log the dictionary chosen for a particular web page you visited. The next time you visit the same web page it will know what dictionary should be used for this site.
