22 versions

Be careful with old versions!

These versions are displayed for reference and testing purposes. You should always use the latest version of an add-on.

Version 1.3.3.1-signed.1-signed 24.4 KiB Works with Firefox 2.0 - 56.*, SeaMonkey 1.1 - 2.17.*, Thunderbird 2.0b2 - 18.*

Got Mozilla to fix their documentation, and now proper code is used to query installed dictionaries. Hopefully no more time will have to be diverted from real development, if we can ever get back to it again...
