2020-02-08 | phloo | On MacOS double-clicked links always open with focus in new tab. Besides that, it should be a preference for the default value to change the opening behaviour (back or foreground). An addon to help usability and being quicker should not require mouse AND keyboard usage at the same time. | |
2019-06-22 | Firefox user 13221270 | Hi, can you port this addon for Mozilla Thunderbird? To open text links from Thunderbird in Firefox. I tried, it installs okay, but not working. Thank you | |
2019-03-20 | ananda96 | it does what is says and it is very helpful. people not reading the description rating low....it's a double-clicker and it's good so... | |
2019-02-16 | Julian McGill | Works, but, 2 stars because instead of parsing clipboard, and finding html link, it requires that you double click on a clean link. | |
2018-05-02 | vertigo | Does exactly what it says. For some reason, it opens links in new tabs whether or not I use the ctrl modifier. This isn't a problem, since that's what I prefer, but worth mentioning. I actually didn't think it would work for me since I expected it to open links in the same tab, and there's no option to swap the behavior (i.e., open in new tab without modifier and in current tab with modifer), though there should be. It does switch to the tab right away, and I actually prefer when I open links in a new tab that they open in background tabs. Using the ctrl modifier makes it open in a background tab. I suspect this variation is caused by another add-on, perhaps TabMixPlus, but it appears that an option to swap the behavior would still be useful. One thing I would really like to see (and, combined with an option to swap the modifier behavior, it would make this a 5-star add-on) is the ability to set it to ignore the clicking (not open the link) if I double-click and drag, so I can select/highlight a link without opening it. If that's not possible, perhaps an option to make it open the link with a triple-click. Edit in response to dev's reply: I'm not suggesting the default behavior be changed to swap the function of the modifier key, just that an option be given so the user can swap it if they choose. Thanks for the reply and for your contributions! | |
2017-11-27 | LFO | Great add-on. Can't live without this amazing extension. Works great now! **edited** fixed----- Most recent update has broken this completely. Double clicking any text on any web page opens a website tab. This add-on is always trying to load every text double-clicking as a new web page. Even text that is clearly not a link. It "lookups" everything. Way too aggressive. Went back two versions, no issues. Hope this gets fixed soon. :) Love this add-on! Last working version: Version 2.1.1 I understand that it can be tough to balance between functionality, I appreciate your efforts. I was just trying to help make your add-on even better for everyone. Perhaps you could make a preference option to "disable on input fields" or something? Otherwise, as it is now, every double click on every plain text on every web page I've visited so far is interpreted as "let's try and open a new tab with text.com" and it's quite frustrating. But I'm happy to stay on version 2.1.1 for now it is working just fine without this glitch. Just trying to help! **edit 2** You nailed it :) Working flawlessly in my testing here. Thank you so much for the fast genius fix!! | |
