Have you any tips about linking external dictionaries to WFC 6.01?

Obs:
I would prefer to use Firefox instead of the Internet Explorer (which is linked to the external searches).

TIA!

Here is my advice: use IntelliWebSearch (http://www.intelliwebsearch.com) instead of Wordfast's own dictionary feature. IWS works in exactly the same way, but is much more powerful and versatile. It also comes with a number of dictionaries predefined. You can also use it outside Word.

In IWS, you can specify any browser you like. As it happens, I'm using it with Firefox.
