I love little FireFox extensions that help me save time and be a little more productive

Snap Links allows users to easily open multiple links in new tabs by drawing a box around them. Links can also be opened in new windows, new tabs on a new window, copied to clipboard, bookmarked or downloaded. [...] Snap Links can even be useful for (lazy) users to open single links. These way the users won’t have to pinpoint by clicking on the link, instead they may just clumsily drag the mouse over the link while pressing the right mouse button.

The user selects the links by dragging the right mouse button. By default the main (bigger) links are the only ones selected.

The user may move the selection area by holding the Alt key while moving the mouse.
Pressing the Shift key will select all links that intersect the selection area instead of just the main links.

The Escape key will cancel the selection area.
