I've been trying to use the Popup add-on for Firefox to add vocabulary from other websites to my vocab list for review (by highlighting the word, then clicking "add"). So far, the vocab hasn't shown up on my list. Is this a bug, or just not a feature yet? If not, would it be possible to add it? So far, I've only been able to add words from the Popup lessons and annotated news, but it would be great to be able to add words that I encounter in the course of doing research on other sites.

Are you hitting "A" when the popup is showing?

Ah, user error on top of a technical glitch! I did not realize I needed to hit "A" on the keyboard (is that explained somewhere? I thought hitting the "add" button on the popup itself was how to do it). Hitting "A" still did not work until I deleted and reinstalled the plugin, but now it seems to work fine. Thanks for your help!

We try to make things incredibly complicated and non-obvious. Another success!
