Yes! I am using it as a replacement for QuickDrag on Firefox 57. I also thought that it did not work till I changed the minimum drag distance to 10 on the advice of Anonymous user 96ab79. I have google search links opened in background tabs at the last (right) position. It is a shame that escape does not cancel a drag as it did in quick drag. However, I don't think (or did not realise) that QuickDrag had an option to prevent the default behaviour of opening dragged links as links rather than text search. In this FireDrag you can "Ignore Selected Text if Dragging a Hyperlink" and turning this to off (the opposite of what I would have thought!) prevents links being opened ignoring the link, but simply searches Google for the text you are dragging. Great.

    Appears to no longer open links (in a new adjacent tab) as it has done well for some time.

    Frustrating that functionality is not a default option in Firefox but understandable.

    This is all I use this add-on - opening links into a new tab when dragged.

    Note: may (but uncertain) be related to the recent Firefox 91.4.1esr (64-bit) release.

    5-star rating until recently. The options screen won't load now, just takes me to a blank page. Hopefully you will fix it, on my new PC all links I drag are opened in the background (I assume that's the default, and I can't change it due to this issue).

    Hi, the option page cannot be loaded in the latest Firefox version. Thus, I am not able to make any configuration. Could you make an update please? Thank you. Cheers to your addon.

    This plugin breaks the "Facebook Messenger" chat windows. When disabled, the Fb Messenger chat function gooes well.

    When enabled, this ext blocks drag&drop Widgets in WordPress admin. This is the error in browser's console "wordpress admin Error: Permission denied to access property "apply""
    How can this be fixed?
