After using Chrome for a decade and switching back to Firefox, one feature I missed was the ability to right-click and Go to [url] directly, for any selected text that vaguely resembles a URL.

I made Goto foo to approximately replicate Chrome’s behavior in Firefox, but it would be nice if no extension were necessary.

    ‘New Tab’ is the default/only behavior currently.

    I notice that Chrome supports Ctrl-click (background tab) and Shift-click (new window), and Firefox provides a modifiers array, so I think I could replicate this.

      Oh, sounds good. It would be best to follow similar conventions. I’m a Safari person, so I didn’t know New Tab was default in Firefox. Making the menu say it will be a new tab would be good.

        I’ve added support for Ctrl/Command/Shift in v1.7, but the menu text is unchanged because I don’t know which keys are pressed prior to the click event. This matches Chrome’s behavior.
