Fantastic Add-On with great functionality, but does not work with Touchscreen devices.
The Add-on works perfectly if i use my touchpad.
With Touchscreen I can make the Add-on Popup appear by double tapping a word, but it disappears the moment i extend the text selection by dragging the caret.
I tried disabling the touch friendly Firefox caret in about:config but could not fix the add-on.

So far works great. I needed a simple extension that would quickly help me with converting units from Imperial to Metric when cooking and this extension does that perfectly. It has a lot of other features but there are way too many for me and I got a little bit overwhelmed by them so I turned them all of
