In the last days I have been looking for a Firefox extension that would make it possible to open multiple bookmarks (and History items) at once. What I mean with this is that I wanted something like the CTRL left-click in Windows Explorer that lets you pick several files at once. My main problem was that the bookmarks menu collapsed as soon as I picked on bookmark that I wanted to load.
I sometimes however would like to load several bookmarks at once, or in rapid succession, and the collapsing bookmarks menu was annoying for that purpose. I did ask the question at the Firefox Mastery website because I knew that some clever Firefox geeks would frequent it and if someone would know the answer they would.
My own research was not successful but a few hours after posting the question over at the website Alex answered and pointed me to two extensions that would prevent the menu from collapsing when middle-clicking items.
- middleclicknocollapse is a Firefox extension for Firefox 1.5 and 2.x that prevents the menus from collapsing while middle-clicking.
- Stay Open Menu is the pendant for Firefox 3.
I hope that these two extensions will be helpful for some of you, I know that they are very helpful for me. (thanks Alex again)
