Open link in...

[pmBill]

PM v28 has weirded out the "Open link in..." version 1.9.1-signed.1-signed extension by Anton Prowse.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... n-link-in/

The creator stopped supporting it long ago. (and has decided to not upgrade it to new Firefox)

This is another one I use quite often.

It is doing some weird stuff with the right-click context menu.
It seems to be duplicating some of the menu items that are supposed to be in a sub-menu if you select that option.

I will look at it, but I may or may not be able to figure it out.

Try this:
Install Moon Tester Tool if you haven't already.
Download the installer file (right-click on the green button and select "Save Link As...") and save to disk.
Open Add-ons Manager.
Pull down gear menu to "Install Add-on from File..."
Select the XPI file that you saved.
Restart browser if necessary.
Did it work?

Confirmed.

You didn't say why that is a good idea or what it will accomplish.

Attached is a snapshot of what it makes the menu look like.

It looks like it is doing the View Image part right but not the Open Links.

So it might be an easy fix.

Thanks for doing that.
I think the creator fixed the View Image but neglected to fix the Open Link.

I forget what the rules are for giving links to XPIs to people.
If anyone wants a copy of the corrected XPI, contact me.

I might try to contact the creator to see if he will fix it for everyone.
