May be this is conflict with other extension.

Set in about:config
javascript.options.showInConsole = true
And see messages contains "rightlinks" in
Tools – Error Console

Please show me list of your installed extensions (you can use InfoLister).

So far, Right-Links is the most useful EVER extension for FireFox, without exaggeration!

One feature i'd like to see in the future is the ability to close tabs by right-clicking on them. I've got used to clicking the scroll button on to of a tab to close it, so now that I don't have a scroll button, this requested feature would be perfect

Thanks! x

I not sure about this for Right Links, but I have some ideas about catching clicks on other elements (like tabs, images etc.), but it require another architecture for customisation purposes. (This will be another extension, but it is not already yet.)

Ah right. Well, whatever improvements you make will be much appreciated, and i'm sure many others agree with me, as this extension is SO useful. But do try your best to add those improvements :D
By the way, what do you mean by 'catching' clicks on other elements?

Thanks

Main idea is following:
1) user click on some element
2) extension detect that this element is tab (or some other... like link, image or bookmark)
3) extension check settings for clicking on tab with pressed modifiers (control, shift, ... or nothing) and mouse button (left, middle, right)
4) extension performs some action (or do nothing, if settings is missing)

I realy like this addon. Thanks. It would be improved for me if its customized toolbar icon was re-designed. When right links is activated it appears with an emphasised border and makes my toolbar look untidy. All my other toolbar buttons do not have a border.

You can add following code in userChrome.css:

Code: Select all

#rightLinks-toggleStatus-tbutton {
   -moz-appearance: none !important;
   background: transparent !important;
   border: none !important;
}
#rightLinks-toggleStatus-tbutton:hover {
   -moz-appearance: toolbarbutton !important;
}

I have copy and pasted this into userChrome.css

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */

#rightLinks-toggleStatus-tbutton {
-moz-appearance: none !important;
background: transparent !important;
border: none !important;
}
#rightLinks-toggleStatus-tbutton:hover {
-moz-appearance: toolbarbutton !important;
}

My userChrome file is in Mozilla, Firefox, Profiles, a file with lots of letters and numbers in it.default, then I get to chrome. Still I have border on button. I am new to changing details in Firefox....any ideas what to do ? Also could you ammend the code to include that the toolbar button does not change colour when Links are activated. Thanks again.

alert(Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/directory_service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIProperties).get("UChrm",Components.interfaces.nsIFile).path);

You edit a userChrome.css file in this directory?

May be I will add option to remove current behavior.
