right_links_we's Issues

double-click

I would like to see a double-click option added.

Thank you!

Thank you for working on this! :)

I'm trying to understand the README. Given the technology available in FF57 (now in Beta channel), is basic functionality possible?

Blob option for images

Right Links WE previously had a blob option that could be configured in the settings. I noticed it is no longer there.

Was this removed intentionally? If so, I'm curious to learn and understand why.

Left clicks stopped working in many random cases (on links, buttons) when Right Links WE is on

Left clicks stop working in many cases (on links, buttons), like once in 10 clicks. And when this situation happens, no left clicks are working even when clicked multiple times, until something like left mouse button dragging is made. Disabling Right Links WE makes it work again.
Firefox 120. GNU+Linux.

The situation happens a lot during the last months or something. I tried different Linux versions, different Right Links WE settings, but with no improvements.

Using right links for a long time.
It is so cool, and no alternatives exist, so, please do something to fix it.

Cursor arrow changes to a hand on long click but doesn't revert to arrow

When long left clicking a link, the cursor arrow changes to a hand icon but doesn't revert back to an arrow after the link has opened in a new tab. It will only revert to an arrow if the hand is moved to the Firefox toolbar.

Settings:
Long left click - selected
Open links in background - not selected
Open in - new tab
Long left click timeout - 300ms
Right click - not selected
Handle clicks on images - not selected
Mouse move tolerance - 14 (default)
Debug mode - not selected

Win7 Home Premium. Firefox 66.0.5

This has also been mentioned in a review by 'circcc'

It's quite a minor bug but does get a little irritating so hope there is a fix for it.

Thanks :-)

Window focus issue

ISSUE:
When right clicking a link, if the window is not in focus the tab will open in another window.
For example if I have two firefox windows open next to each other (A,B) if I have focus on window A and right click a link in window B, the tab will open in window A.

Is there a way to switch focus on mouse event?

Thanks.

Links opening twice

As title says, all links are opening twice. I assumed it was an issue with my mouse, but on Chrome I have a different add-on for the same functionality and the links open once, so it's either an issue with this add-on or with the way my Firefox is configured, either way, advice/help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Strange new tabs open

Good day. When I right click on a link I want to save, the browser opens a strange new tab.
I traced this tab to the Right Links add-on. Why does this happen? I don't want/need these on my browser.

Bug: New tab opens in wrong window [MacOS]

I think this is a Mac OS specific issue, since in Linux and Windows, right-clicking on a window automatically makes it the active focused window, which is not the case in MacOS.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open any page in Firefox.
  2. Open a new window. Resize the new window so that atleast 1 link on the old window is visible.
  3. Click anywhere (not on a link) within the new window to make it the active focused window.
  4. Right click on any link in the old window (without clicking anything else on the old window).
  5. The new tab opens in the new window instead of the old window.

This is especially annoying on multi monitor setups where the active window is on a different monitor to the one window where the link was clicked on.

I would be happy to contribute a fix. I do not yet know if a fix is actually possible, have to read up on Firefox WE APIs.

Edit: Appears to be a simple fix. Have submitted a PR.

AddOn missing from AMO?

Hi,
Has the add-on recently been removed from AMO? I've been recommending this add-on as a replacement for my no longer maintained Right Click Link New Tab extension.

Will the add-on be available on AMO again, in the near future? Should I stop recommending it? Is the add-on being actively developed? If it is not being actively developed, I would like to adopt the project and continue development. Please do let me know.

Regards,
Balaganesh Damodaran

Right Links WE writing a surprising amount of data to its local storage database

While diagnosing some Firefox performance issues, I noticed that Right Links WE is writing a surprising amount of data to its local storage database (via Firefox).

This surprises me, as I didn't think Right Links WE needed to keep track of anything while it is running. I suspect this is a bug where Right Link WE's settings are getting stored over and over again unintentionally... or something like that.

Do you have any time to take a look at it? It's one of the reasons I'm seeing so much unneeded performance-sapping disk I/O in Firefox.

Thank you again for the incredible extension. I can't imagine Firefox (or any browser) without it.

Disable Right Links WE on user-defined sites

Although I try to stay away from Google products, Google Maps is still sometimes the best choice for certain tasks.

To use Google Maps efficiently, allowing right-clicking on the map itself is very useful, to display the context menu. On the other hand, using Right Links WE to open other links on that site in a new tab is also useful.

Is there any way to only disable Right Links WE from opening links in a new tab when right-clicking on the map?

I don't want to completely disable handling clicks on images on all sites.

Thanks you again for Right Links WE... it is extraordinarily useful! 👍

final version for WE

Hello,

When will the final version for WE be realized?

thank you for the answer

how enable longrightclick > contextmenu

Hello ,

thank you for your very useful add-on.
i have recently upgraded from firefox esr 52 to 60 esr and in the process from right links to right links WE.

i noticed that i am no longer able to enable with a long right click the popping-up of the contextmenu. instead i should use str + click.
is there a way to enable the long-right-click. it seems not to function on my computer. i am using kubuntu 18.04 .

"Mouse move tolerance" doesn't work as it is meant to be?

I use both Right_Links_WE(RL) and Gesturefy. Both with right clicks.
I don't remember when it started, but RL unintendedly opens tabs on the mouseup event of my mouse gestures.
I want RL to only open tabs when the mousedown and the mouseup fire within the Mouse move tolerance preference. Doesn't the preference mean for this purpose?

Firefox 118.0 (latest)
Right_Links_WE 0.5b12 (latest)
Gesturefy 3.2.8 (latest)
Mac 10.15.7 (old ;-)
