This extension adds a context menu for opening links in other window. Great for people who use multiple monitor setup, running more than one instance of Firefox.

Open links in a new foreground or background tab of other window, with the consideration whether the other window's active tab (or any tab) is playing media or not. Also bring the new tab window to foreground if the option is enabled.

Bug reports and suggestions are highly appreciated :))

Most excellent functionality, especially useful for opening links in an already open private window.
