IMPORTANT 13 Feb 2018: THIS ADDON WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED. For those looking for a better alternative to this addon, please use beta version of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/right-links/?src=api for Firefox 57+.

Right Click Link New Tab - Firefox Add-on

The 'Right Click Link New Tab' is a unique web-extension for Firefox, designed to open any selected link in a new tab when right-clicked. Aside from the usual process, a context menu pops up with a Ctrl+click. Please note that this feature is not applicable to content on addons.mozilla.org since the add-on operates by injecting javascript code (content script) into each page you scroll through.
