Links Like This is an extension for the Firefox Web browser that allows you to open many links in a page simply by right-clicking on one link and selecting the "Open Links Like This..." option. It will use the link you clicked on as an example of the type of link you want to open.

• It now pays attention to whether the link you clicked on is already in your history and chooses similar links accordingly.
• It will no longer open duplicate links.
• It now removes the red dotted border from the suggested links if you choose not to open them.
• The confirmation dialog now contains the number of links that are going to be opened. "Open these links?" and "Open these 472 links?" are fundamentally different questions. :-)

You can install the latest version from the Links Like This homepage.

I believe that I've written this suitable extension, and it's called Links Like This. The extension works like so: any time you right-click on a link, an option entitled "Open Links Like This..." is added to the context menu:

If you select that option, the extension will find all of the links in the page that are similar to the link you right-clicked on, highlight them, and then ask you to confirm that they are indeed the links that you want to open.

Unlike GoogleTabs, this extension is generalized to all websites. Due to its dynamic matching algorithm, it actually appears to work better than GoogleTabs on Google search pages, and in my experience so far, it works equally well with the other search engines and link-heavy sites like Digg/Netscape/Reddit or CraigsList.

You can install Links Like This from the Links Like This homepage. Feel free to describe any positive or negative experiences with it in the comment section below.

I made this decision for several reasons:

• I don't have time to keep up with Google. Every time they change the HTML for any of their search result pages, I have to update the extension and release a new version.
• I don't use the extension. All of my other extensions came about to fill one of my browsing needs, and in a few cases, other people found the extension useful as well. Since I never really used GoogleTabs, I don't feel the same need to keep it current.
• There are better solutions. There are other extensions like Snap Links and Linky that do the same thing, but on a wider scale. It doesn't make sense to have a Google-specific version when you can have one extension that mass-opens links on all webpages.

According to Mozilla Addons, GoogleTabs was downloaded a total of 95,322 times (plus the downloads directly from my site), so it had a pretty good run. Rest in peace, GoogleTabs.
