After using Chrome for a decade and switching back to Firefox, one feature I missed was the ability to right-click and Go to [url] directly, for any selected text that vaguely resembles a URL.

I made Goto foo to approximately replicate Chrome’s behavior in Firefox, but it would be nice if no extension were necessary.

    Don’t let everyone “well actually” you, here. The fact you are making this robust is great.

    Feature idea: holding down Alt/Option changes the menu to open in a new tab.

      ‘New Tab’ is the default/only behavior currently.

      I notice that Chrome supports Ctrl-click (background tab) and Shift-click (new window), and Firefox provides a modifiers array, so I think I could replicate this.

        Oh, sounds good. It would be best to follow similar conventions. I’m a Safari person, so I didn’t know New Tab was default in Firefox. Making the menu say it will be a new tab would be good.

          I’ve added support for Ctrl/Command/Shift in v1.7, but the menu text is unchanged because I don’t know which keys are pressed prior to the click event. This matches Chrome’s behavior.
