while browsing mozilla's latest updates, i came across quite possibly the most useful add-on i've ever seen. i will share it will all of you lovelies.
Requirements: Must use Mozilla Firefox as internet browser.
Description: Immediate Japanese Kanji translation device. (i.e. after installation, when you mouse over kanji you do not know, the application gives you immediately [in a small pop-up] the meaning, pronunciation and dictionary form of the character. also, if the word is inflected at all, the program breaks the word into it's base [dictionary] form for ease of understanding.
Directions:
1. first go to: http://www.polarcloud.com/rikaichan/
2. scroll down about half way until you reach the first blue box in the middle of the page. once there click "Install"
3. next, in the second blue box click on "Install" under Japanese-English Dictionary
4. open both executable files
5. open your mozilla browser
6. click on the Tools menu and select "Toggle Rikaichan"
and that's it! Enjoy browsing webpages in nihongo! ^_^
