I created a new browser extension for Esperanto called Esperanto Word Tabs. It loads a new new-pair in every new tab. It's a simple but fun idea. What do you think?
It can be installed in the Chrome Store:

Let me see, if I understand the idea correctly. For every tab you open you get a pop-up window with a random word in English and its Esperanto counterpart. And that's it.

What I have found, is that word lists like the one in Lernu, are insufficient for any deeper learning of E-o. Those word lists provide only "a horse is ĉevalo" style translations without any examples, how to actually express things. For that purpose you need real, mono- or bilingual dictionaries like PIV. Therefore I suggest to add into the extension a link to the explanation in PIV or some other real dictionary.

You almost got it. It's not a pop up that opens. The random word-pairs are loaded in the new tab page.

You're right in that deeper learning of the words and their context is hard without examples and longer translations. I created this extension for fun more than language learning. I also wanted to give more tools to the community. I noticed that there are not many programs out there.
