- Rated 2 out of 5by kurish, 7 years agoDragLinks 1.8 randomly stops working and requires a browser restart to function again. Unacceptable.
As per other reviews, placement of new tabs needs to be a user-selectable setting.
Using Firefox 56.0.2 64-bit on Windows.
Fix the issues above and this would be an excellent extension. Until then, the search continues for a decent drag extension compatible w/FFox 57.Developer response
posted 7 years agoplacement of new tabs needs to be a user-selectable setting -> i will do it when i can, i first do the work for what i get paid, after social life, and then this add-on. If you are in a hurry to fix these problems you can take the code, fix it and publish it with your name, i don't care. - Rated 4 out of 5by Skrell, 7 years agoLove this addon but please add the ability to open new links NEXT TO the current tab and not at the end of all the tabs. This would make this a perfect addon!

The problem with the addon below is that I think it forces ALL new tabs to open next to the current one instead of just the ones opened via a link. Basically the default behavior right now if I right click a link and say "open in new tab" is what I want from your extension.Developer response
posted 7 years agoi could do it, but i think this add-on gives that functionality: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-tabs-next-to-current/
Tell me if it is good enough, and i will add it to the description for people find it better.

Ok i see, i will look what i can do - Rated 5 out of 5by streetwolf, 7 years agoAs I always seem to forget which search engine I set for a drag would it be possible to show the search engines icon when the drag starts. Even the name would be OK. Perhaps you can think of a better way.
*** Thanks for adding this feature ***Developer response
posted 7 years agoI already had that problem, something has to be done. What you propose seems good, i will try to do it as soon as i can find some spare time. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12357730, 7 years agoBut I have to use version 1.4 : with version 1.5, dragging up links to open them didn't work anymore, especially in forums.

posted 7 years agoi think i have the problem, the calculations to see if the drop is made inside the content area is affected by the zoom used, i will look it
-----
I released 1.6, it checks that drag operation has been inside browser window instead of viewport content of the website, because there isn't a trusty way of doing it. - Rated 3 out of 5by Kawzen, 7 years agoPrevious Super Drag user
This is a Gr8 addon but it has a two problems
1- even when u drag a text to the Url/Search bar it will still search the text or open the link
it should function when the drag-drop is done inside the page only
2- in some websites when u select a line by double click and try to drag-drop, the addon won't work, but when select the line manually it works?
I hope it get fixed soon
I was looking for alternative to Super Drag and finally found your addon
Thank u very much :)
edit: ex: www.blackfalcongames.net/?p=183
the addon now no matter what direction I drag-drop it always use the search engine like if I drag-drop to Up only
it was working when I first installed it but now it doesn't work, I tried remove > install but the problem still exist
and there is some websites it doesn't work at all
------------------------
Hello, after some playing around I found the problem cause
it's the switch "privacy.resistFingerprinting"
it doesn't work with this switch enabled
I hope this is something that can be fixedDeveloper response
posted 7 years ago1- you are right, i will look into it
2- could you give me a link to a website with this problem?
Thank you for the feedback!
----------------
could be another add-on in conflict with this? i can't reproduce the error even in the website you gave me
could you disable your other add-ons? and try again to corner the problem
----------------
point #1 fixed in 1.5
----------------
I changed "privacy.resistFingerprinting" switch, and the add-on still works, it must be something else. This add-on is simple, you can see in the source code that is quite short, it's difficult that is doesn't work unless the website you visit stops drag propagation events. - Rated 5 out of 5by 0055, 8 years agoThank you for the quick response!
There is another request.
I also want the same function for images.
Is that possible?

I'm sorry.Developer response
posted 8 years agoi was planning to do it soon because other people asked for it too, no problem
Update: I put that option in v1.4 - Rated 5 out of 5by Eien, 8 years agoI used to use Super drag but it's not fully working anymore since the last update and don't seem to be maintained anymore so to replace it i use your addon and the selected search addon.
I really like DragLinks. It's simple and efficient. It's seems to work fine but for some reason, it's not working for me on the mozilla addons webpage.
It would be great to see an option to select text and drag to search in default search engine or google by draging right or left to open in foreground or background. Maybe a box that pop up with multiple search engines. Thank you for this very useful addon!Developer response
posted 8 years agoAll addons are disabled in mozilla webpage, maybe it's for security issues. - Rated 5 out of 5by Caglar, 8 years agoThere is not much to say - it just works great! What i would like to see is the possibility to customize the settings a bit like:
Drag link to the left = open in the foreground
Drag link to the right= open in the background
Drag Text to the left = Search via Google in the foreground
Drag Text to the right= Search via Google in the background
Instead only Up and Down.
UPDATE: Version 1.1 and "dragging text" also works great on my side! Best alternative to "EasyDragToGo+ Mod" so far :).
Keep up the great work!Developer response
posted 8 years agoi will put you that option after i see dragging text works nice
update 1.1.1: i added you the drag link left right option :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Corsair, 8 years agoHave been hoping to see an add-on that does this that is e10s and 57+ compatible - finally found it! Must have feature for me - thanks!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Bo Bayles, 8 years agoClean and simple approach that makes browsing with a laptop easier. I'd give this five stars if it worked for searching highlighted text also!
Developer response
posted 8 years agoI tried to make that feature before release, but with webextensions, i can't find a way to get the default search engine to use it. I could use google by default, but not everybody uses google, so for now you can drag the text to the address or search bar.
I neither want to use the old addon sdk because it's going to be removed :/
After thinking a little bit, i could make an options page to set the query url of the search engine the user wants to use, but dunno if it is worth the effort
