Linky: Moz/Firefox tool for opening many links at once, in tabs


Linky is my all-time favorite Mozilla plugin (also works in Firefox and Thunderbird). When you right-click with Linky installed, you get a sub-menu that lets you open a range of selected links in tabs, or all image links in one tab, text-links in tabs, download all links, and so forth. This is great for multipart Web-articles, where the pages are all linked like so: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 -- just select all the page links, and Linky them open in new tabs so they're all preloaded in tabs in your browser. Also fantastic for image galleries -- expand a up to 99 thumbnails into their own tabs that you can click through quickly (even better when the links are straight to images, as Linky can lay them all out on one page for fast scrolling).
