by Firefox user 12723584, 9 years agoAny tool becomes useful when we are instructed how to use it.
Of course we don't expect a long documentation for a tiny piece of code like this. But to provide the basic information is mandatory.
It's great to tell the users that "With Snap Links Plus you can open multiple links in to new tabs by drawing a selection rectangle. Etc. Etc." But it's indecent not to tell them HOW !!!
HOW TO DRAW THE SELECTION??? It doesn't work by simple drag and drop, nor by Ctrl+drag and drop or any other modifier + drag and drop. And even if it would work, it isn't tell where we would find the promised multitude of options: in the context menu? in a context menu automatically opened?
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Wrong!!! In this matter ten words are worth a thousand pictures. The two demonstrative pictures the developer added don't demonstrate anything.
it is a cheap excuse to tell that this add-on "is free and open-source". Trying unsuccessfully to use it did cost me a lot of time and frustration. And it is impolite to tell the users "Please report any issues or feature requests to our Issue Tracker." in other words: I don't care what are you saying here. The Issue Tracker is for technical issues. And it's even not an issue with the program, but with the documentation.

posted 9 years agoWhen you first install the add-on, a welcome page comes up with more than minimal documention, that welcome page is on the front page of the website, but here is a direct link as well:

- Rated 5 out of 5by rattle-snake, 10 days agoReally great !
Little bug : when using rect drag and touching the bottom of the screen, the web page is not scrolling as it should.
A fix would be greatly appreciated - Rated 5 out of 5by theredwolf, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Yammerhant, 4 months agoHad major problems with Firefox using massive amounts of RAM, over 10GB - I removed Snap Links and cured the problem instantly.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17131595, 4 months agoI do love the addon, but the not working part is getting worse. Yes, putting it up to 120% helps a little, but I dont want to live in 120%, nor should I have to for an addon to work, imo. Been really frustrating trying to get this to work without popping links when I do not want it to, or completely not being able to capture them at all.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17784486, 7 months agoCannot coexist with mouse gesture add-ons.
Please allow Ctrl+right click and other editing operations. - Rated 5 out of 5by JBro, 7 months agoThis handy tool has changed the way I browse the net. Everything is so multi-tasking now, and this just makes it so much simpler. Works flawlessly.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Tyrone, 9 months agoThe only reason why I rate this 4 and not 5 is because of my ADHD, I keep forgetting it exists, so if you could allow this addon to be pinned to the toolbar, it would significantly help. Thank you!
