Right Links WE: Firefox Add-on for Better Navigation

"Right Links WE" is a Firefox add-on that significantly improves user navigation. It accomplishes this by allowing links to be opened with a simple right-click or a 'long' left-click. This extension is ideal for those using touchpads on their notebooks or mice without a middle button. It also provides useful features like loading JavaScript-links in the current tab, offering control over the timeout before context menus appear, and even introducing hotkeys for easy preferences customization. Also, there are additional options in the about:config page such as allowing the disabling or enabling of features like opening links in new windows instead of new tabs.
