Lifehacker today pointed to an add-on (it’s hard not to call it an extension) for Firefox by the name of Drag & DropZones that can help rid yourself of some unnecessary right-clicking when it comes to searching, saving images, opening links in new tabs/windows and, basically, anything you can do via a context menu in Firefox.
How does it work? Start to drag a link or an image and “drop zones” instantly appear. Each drop zone represents a different command and dragging the link or image onto the drop zone activates that particular command. The zones are completely customizable and you can modify the color, transparency and location of each drop zone that you’ve enabled.
If the concept sounds vaguely familiar, there’s a good chance you’re thinking of a couple of other add-ons that have been around for a while longer: Super DragAndGo and Easy DragToGo. Those particular add-ons enable you to quickly drag a link downward to open it in a new background tab or upward to open in a new focused tab… in addition to enabling you to quickly drag an image to save it to a default location. (Note: if you have Easy DragToGo installed, Drag & DropZones’s functionality will render Easy DragToGo useless. The two, apparently, cannot coexist.)
