Is there a way to right click a text link to add it to bookmarks?

I can't find an add-on that lets me do this either.
If I highlight a text link, like the shared link on a youtube video, there is no option to bookmark that link directly.
Why is it not possible to do this?

It shouldn't but it was one of the few things I could think of in the realm of possibilities.
It's more than likely the GET data then. They format it in such a way that it's a random string.
Isn't that an issue that not all links are able to be processed in that manner?
I mean for something as popular as YouTube.
I hate to keep using that, but similar instances are becoming increasingly common.
Obviously I'm new to mozilla's support but maybe it's something worth mentioning, if it made me ask this and I rarely even use this type of feature.

  • Is there a way to right click on a iPad?

    Can you right click on a iPad? How?

    Yep. Hold down on the link or text you are wanting to click on until you see the pop up menu.

  • Is there a way to right click - open in new tab on the list of recent pages drop down menu?

    I know that I can get the same effect by opening a new copy of the current page in a new tab and then back pedaling to the earlier page, but that is a bit cumbersome.

    There is no Contextual menu for the Location bar drop-down, so you need to use {Ctrl + Click} or Middle-click the item to have browsing history items load in a new tab.

  • Is there a way I can click on a link designed to open in a new window/tab and have it replace the current tab instead?

    For example, if I go to [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20435580 an abstract on PubMed] and click on either of the full text icons, Firefox will open a new tab. I want the full text to replace the tab with the abstract, instead.
    The best thing I can figure out now is to Ctrl-click the icons so they open in the background, then use Ctrl+W to close the current window.

    Hi,
    In your Firefox -> Preferences/Options -> Tabs, you can select the check box "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately". You would still need to go back and close the original tab, but this would help you with part of the issue.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to change the order of the list that appears when i right click on a link?

    In previous versions of firefox, when i right clicked on a link the list that appeareded was in order:
    first Open Link in New Window
    second Open Link in New Tab
    In firefox 4 this is reversed. Is there a way to change it back?

    You can do that with the Menu Editor extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
    This extension has not been updated by its author in a couple of years, but another developer has updated it for Firefox 4, you can get the updated version from http://netticat.ath.cx/MyAddons/MyAddons.htm#3rdpartyaddons

  • In version 9 is there anyway to put the "Open Link in new Tab" back to where it was when right clicking on a link?

    The menu editor addon no longer works with FF v9.0.1, is there another way to change the location of the "Open Link in New Tab" contextual menu item when right clicking on a link?

    You can do that with code in userChrome.css.

  • I put together and sent 10 pictures from my granddaughter's birthday party. Is there a way of sending them with a link recipients can click on, rather than having all the pictures download as part of the email message?

    I put together and sent 10 pictures from my granddaughter's birthday party. Is there a way of sending them with a link recipients can click on, rather than having all the pictures download as part of the email message?

    Hello userlarry, do you have Mobile Me? You could use that. Or you could compress them, you would still need to send them in an email, but it would help with size limitations of emails.
    To compress them, put them in a folder and right click on the folder. You should see a Compress option. Then just drag the .zip file into your mail.

  • I am unable to open new tabs, in any way I attempt to do so. I have checked the settings and they are fine, so it's not those. The only way I can open a new tab is to right click on a link and instruct it to open in a new tab.

    Any way I attempt to open new tabs, be it clicking on the new tab button or using the short-cut Ctrl-t, I am unable to open any new tabs on my browser window.
    The only way I have found that I can open a new tab is to right-click on a link and instruct that link to open in a new window.

    Try disabling the Ask Toolbar extension.

It only works if I press right click -> Open in a new Tab on bookmarks under the menu that is located on the upper left corner. Is this a bug? Is there a solution?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Why, when right click on some link the options "OpenLink in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Window" are exchanged?

    Dear friend, the problem is that there is exchange of something very useful from users an this break them habits! I'm not interested of forced using of tools! Of course it's good that there is a tool to solve my problem, but this action make me unhappy.
    last words - this is the way of losing users.

  • Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?

    Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?
    I was reading up that it's possible to this with menus, and tracks but can you do it with a button and how?
    I am hoping to create a button that people viewing my discs on a computer can click on the link and their web browser will pop up and take them to a website.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    dvd@ccess questions are being asked once a week on this forum, so I'll repeat why it's useless:
    - Mac users have to enable the feature in the preferences of DVD Player in order to for the links to work.
    - PC users have to install a small application on their PC, and they have to reboot the PC in order for the links to work.
    - On top of this, it's still unreliable, and may not work on some computers.
    It's a dog: Don't use it.

  • Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

    Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
    menu..but not the submenus?
    Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
    the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
    submenu...what can i do to solve this?

    Does the example described at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
    work for you?
    What are you doing that's different from the example?
    When you say you just want to change the text of the main
    menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
    dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
    If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
    want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
    event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
    in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
    update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
    actually tried it.
    Hope that helps!

  • Is there a way to change the master text length in FCP? The default length is 10 seconds, which is too long. I can easily adjust the length but I don't want to do it each time, and I don't want to adjust one and then have to copy and paste this length.

    Is there a way to change the master text length in FCP? The default length is 10 seconds, which is too long. I can easily adjust the length but I don't want to do it each time, and I don't want to adjust a text clip and then have to copy and paste this each time. Ideally, there should be something in User Preferences but there is not. Thanks.

    Maybe some one else can pipe up with a solution, but this would literally take 2 seconds to do for a new project.  And you can create a "template project" that includes this "text" clip.  Save this project and then to a get info and check "stationary pad."  When you double click on this file, fcp will open with a copy of this project and you just need to do a save as. 
    I've been working with computer editing systems for longer than i can remember and at a certain point you just have to adapt your workflow to the limitations of the software.  

  • Everytime I open a new window to browse, in this new window I would right click to open link in new tab but the new tab always shows up in the other window.

    I would click a link which opens a new window. Then in this new window, I would right click to open link in new tab. The new tab does not show up in this new window. It instead shows up in the original browser window. How can I make the new tab show up in the same window?

    Firefox did have a behavior where some new windows -- those considered to be dialogs -- could not have new tabs, so new tabs were diverted to the window from which the dialog was opened.
    According to the bug tracking system, a fix is in the works:
    [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644729 644729 – Popup window with all toolbars visible causes new tabs to open in another browser window] referencing [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485237 485237 – Need to treat popups consistently].
    That second ones says Target Milestone: Firefox 12, so the fix probably didn't make it into Firefox 11.
    WORKAROUNDS
    That first bug says there is an add-on to work around this -- it enables the middle mouse button to open links in a dialog window: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug-586234-unfixer/ Bug 586234 Unfixer :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.
