Snap Links was one of the most useful Firefox 2 add-ons in my opinion and it was one of the few add-ons that I missed dearly after switching to Firefox 3. The add-on could be installed with a little tweak of the install.rdf file that can be found in every Firefox add-on installation package but it turned out that this version, it was Snap Links 0.0.4, was causing some side effects like opening the right-click menu or disabling it for a certain time that made it unusable for me.
I researched the topic and finally discovered a link to version 0.0.5 of Snap Links that is compatible to Firefox 3. Yes that is right, it is working perfectly and one can finally use it again to open multiple links in one fluid motion in Firefox.
Let me explain how Snap Links is working. By default it provides an option to draw a rectangle with the right mouse button. Every top level link in that rectangle will be opened in a new tab on release. Mighty useful if you want to open the last ten forum posts or search results in a search engine.
I discovered the link on Andrew Sherman’s website who posted the link to the Snap Links 0.0.5 download.

Thank you!! I was just looking for a way to get the previous version working earlier today after getting frustrated by not having it since I upgraded to Firefox 3!
I had never heard of this before. I’ll definitely check it out. I’m constantly viewing sites with multiple pages so to click and drag to have them open would be so much more productive.
Good Times!
See this on install:
Firefox could not install the file at
http://www.codclan.org/junk/snap_links-0.0.5-fx.xpi
because: Not a valid install package
-207
this thing would conflict with my mouse gesture anyway.
I’ll pass
Thanks for the link! Your post on AMO led me here and subsequently to the 0.0.5 of snaplinks! Was getting really annoyed with individually opening links again.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this link! Like you I very much valued this particular add-on and really did miss it after updating to Firefox 3.
Now I’m all good again…
Cheers,
Cécile
Awesome! I really missed this add-on. Thanks a lot.

Twash I can install it just fine on my Firefox 3 US. Are you sure you are not running a Release Candidate or beta of Firefox 3 ?
yeah i’m sure :( this one didn’t work for me.
luckily i found another version (different download link) after a lot of search, and i found a modified v0.0.4 of snap links that worked.
so all is good!
Link seems to be dead.. Any mirrors?
Hmm.. this is not working with v.3.0.1 Any update available?
you can force compatibility with Mr Tech’s Toolkit

This is a fixed version which also works in Firefox 3.0.1 (will work with FF 3.0.*)

I just changed the manifest so all coding credits still go to Atreus and Mumbly Juergens.
The only bug free version of Snap Links I’ve found for Firefox 3, is the “EladKarako Mod”.
For lack of any consistent place to find it, I put up a handy little page at
http://snaplinks.tk/
Awesome Now i can view the w4m section in craigslist with lightning speed!
The “EladKarako Mod” works fine, except it kills the spellchecker in Ubuntu Linux.
Thanks so much. I have been wanting this extension back ever since I installed firefox 3. I almost went back to firefox 2 for this.
Thanks a billion. u made my day
Merci beaucoup, sa faisait tres longtemps que je chercherais sa pour firefox3.
Thank you because i can stop search, good evening.
omg, thanks so much! after i inadvertly switched to firefox 3 i realize my snaplinks weren’t compatible anymore and i was so annoyed i almost switched back to IE.. now i’m happy again!!!
btw, i should add that i even tried to go back to firefox 2 but i couldn’t even after using system restore so thank you!!
FF2 & FF3 compatible version is also available at http://snaplinks.mozdev.org/
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great extension, I use it all the time and I dont know what I would do without it, so thanks but it screws up the right click menu. This addon needs to be updated as soon as possible.
thanks, this tool is very useful to me

SnapLinks (EladKarako Mod) from the following website: http://snaplinks.tk
another mirror and SVNs will be in http://tweakIT.co.nr or the mozilla Add-On website.
