The only way to use it was to rely on third party fixes for the add-on to make it work in later versions of Firefox 2 and Firefox 3. The Firefox add-on provides the means to work with multiple links in the web browser with ease. It can be used to draw a rectangle in the web browser and perform actions on all links inside the rectangle.

Actions can be opening all links in new tabs or windows, bookmark them, copy them to the clipboard or initiate downloads. The function can be set to the right, middle or left mouse button. The rectangle will be visualized with a green border and the links that are selected with a red border. The selected action will be performed as soon as the mouse button is released.

The good news is that Snap Links finally got updated. It is now available directly from the official Mozilla website (and not Rapidshare or other third party sites like before). The developer has translated the add-on to 17 languages by now which is another bonus.

Snap Links is compatible with Firefox 3 including the soon to be released Firefox 3.1. Definitely one of the best add-ons if you regularly work with multiple links that you want to open or download.
