Rikaichan
Rikaichan is an absolutely fantastic Firefox add-on for reading Japanese websites. Once it's installed, you can just hover your mouse over Japanese text and it'll pop up a translation/explanation.
To install: you need to download at least two files, the main extension and a Japanese-English dictionary (or French, German, or Russian). You should probably also download the names dictionary too.
To turn Rikaichan on: go to the Tools menu in your Firefox browser and select Rikaichan. This actually took me a while to figure out because the website doesn't tell you this very clearly and I'm also kind of daft.
Yay!
[Edit] There's also a website that does the same thing. You just paste the URL into a field and click a button to Rikai-ize the target website. Thank you,lucathia_rykatu!
