| Useful firefox addon for dating sites. Posted: 3/1/2008 9:02:52 AM | If anyone here uses FireFox when on dating sites, I found a really handy add on. It's called Snap Links. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4336
You basically (using your right mouse button) draw a box around the links you want to open and it opens each one in a separate tab. It comes in handy when browsing profiles in a list and you want to view them. I find it faster than doing the "right click" - "open in new tab" for single links as well.
Originally this add-on was designed for search engines when you want to open several result links at once.
Note: Be careful when opening too many things at once, for example, if you draw a box around 15 profiles at once, your computer will probably freeze for a minute or more while it tries to download everything at once. So I try to restrict to about 5 or so at a time if I want to keep browsing. And if you are dialing with a modem, I wouldn't try this unless you wanted to open up a bunch of profiles at once while doing something else like laundry and come back 10 minutes later.
So has anyone else found any cool firefox plugins that help with their online dating experience (aside from the obvious ones) ? | |

Hover you mouse over a link and it opens a new window inside your current window.
Very handy for checking links you may not want to open a new tab or window for. | |

When you draw the box, everything that is clickable inside that box opens in a new tab. So if you are looking in the match view that only has pictures, you can draw a box around them and they all appear in separate tabs.
I know about the middle click, but on the laptop it is harder to do. | |
