wait -- did they stop using the doubleclick dictionary or am i crazy? God bless you for writing this BTW.

Yep, it's broken on FF3. However, if you have AdblockPlus, just block: *.nytimes.com/js/common/screen/altClickToSearch.js. Problem solved.

Doesn't work for me. FF3 RC1, Mac OS 10.5.3.

Doesn't work for me in Mac FF 3 RC1 (with extensions.checkCompatibiliyt set to false).

This script also works, as-is, on cbsnews.com, which has the same "feature".

Just add http://www.cbsnews.com/* to the included pages list.

this is fantastic man - thank you. I wish to hades I'd have looked here earlier!

Excellent!
I too select text randomly while reading articles, and this was driving me nuts.

You could just block altClickToSearch.js with Adblock Plus or Opera's built it content blocker.

Thanks! Such an idiotic "feature".

Thanks Earl!
I've been looking for this for quite some time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You rock! Thanks for killing their annoying page view enhancer. Stupid stupid NYtimes.

It works! Thanks so much. You have greatly reduced my odds of ever going postal.

Great script. This has been annoying me for a while (I have the same habit).

Suggestion: Please add "nytimes.com" to the title or keywords for this script, so that people can find it when searching for scripts for nytimes.com. Thanks!

Thanks.

Thanks Earl, thought I was going crazy at first. What a stupid "feature" NYT has added. I had to restart browser to get your script to work, but works as advertised.

oh man you saved nyt.com!

Big fan

Thanks bud
