Subjectcool extension for Firefox: super drag n' drop new Reply to this message

Those of you that used MyIE2 may miss the "drag and drop" feature of it in Firefox... what it does is that you can drag & drop text, links, and images, and it will automatically do a few things:

random text => google search on it
link (either actual link or just text) => open the page
image (configurable) => open the image in a separate tab

This seems like a minor feature but you quickly get used to it. Anyway, after much searching I found this exists for Firefox as the Super Drag n' Go extension!

I still need to get used to a lot of other features before I fully switch, but this is a huge step forward for me :)

But after enduring for a while I feel better now.

These will make it easier:

- Adblock: no need to comment
- FlashGot: all your downloads are belong to NetTransport
- FoxyTunes: control your media player from the status bar
- TabBrowser Preferences: no more new windows, just new tabs
- Gmail notifier: you have new gmail, in a click
- Dictionary Search: if you used the M-W plugin for MyIE2
- Translate: not that you need it, anyway
- EZNav: ubercool! navigate numeric urls & dirs by middle clicking on arrows!
- Mouse Gestures: juggle with those pages

get them at http://update.mozilla.org/ together with a lot of other stuff (Sage, Webdeveloper, DOM inspector, this and that)

The only thing I miss about MyIE2 is speed, and there's no extension to fix that. But Maxthon is getting slower and slower anyway :(

OKKAY!
