This is a very useful extension for Opera users who want the same behaviour in Firefox.
However I have an issue. When I long left-click on links and then release the mouse, the link opens in both a new window and the active window. I need to long left-click and then drag the mouse away from the link and then release it to avoid this. Is there any way to fix this ?

Hmm... works fine for me. Is this happens on all sites? May be conflict with some another extension...

You're right it was another extension (called DblClicker) that was causing the problem. Thanks a lot.

Minor request: Could you add the about:config preference behavior of "extensions.rightlinks.loadInBackground" and ""extensions.rightlinks.loadInBackground.left" to the documentation on addons.mozilla.org?

On a Mac laptop with no right-click button, it's very useful for me to manually toggle "extensions.rightlinks.loadInBackground.left" to "true", so that I can long left-click on links and have them open in background tabs (which is my preference). Without a true right-click button, I wouldn't be able to do that.

Thank you for writing the extension.

Hmm... but what about left-click accessible menu inside Add-ons Manager?
Add-ons Manager – go to Right Links – Options (or double-click/Show More Information and scroll down) – Options…

Out of admittedly vague curiosity, do you have any other hobbies?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/right-links/
=> Source code and issues tracker: https://github.com/Infocatcher/Right_Links
or
=> Version Information -> View the source

But there is not comments for trivial things. So, required some programming knowledge.

I seem to be running into an issue where Right Links has completely stopped functioning spontaneously. It worked fine for a few weeks, but as of yesterday has stopped. I can neither right click to open tabs nor long-left click to open a context menu.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling as well as disabling/enabling, all to no avail.

May be you accidentally pressed F2 that disables Right Links.
Please check options in Add-ons Manager:

Code: Select all

[v] Enabled
...
Options
  [v] Enable right-click
  [v] Enable long left-click

This is due to enabled multi-process mode:

There is some basic fixes in development version, but I'm not sure, how correctly it work for now (multi-process things are very unstable).
