But, when I click on download to get it for my TB, I don't see any dialog box opening to ask me where I want to save it and subsequently, I don't see and downloaded dictionary file or XPI file on my hard drive! I want to be able to highlight a word in TB, just like in my FX, right-click for a context menu and look the word up in the dictionaries I have downloaded.

Regardless, if an add-on installation for TB be successful, where am I supposed to access the added-on application from: A toolbar menu, Context menu, or a toolbar icon? I found an Australian English dictionary that did put in the .xpi and I installed it on TB (supposedly), but I see no dictionary anywhere, even after a restart. Any idea?
