Why
When i started this project i couldn't find any add-on that allow dragging links, so i had to do it myself, my first add-on for Firefox.
One day a reviewer mentioned Glitter Drag, so i tested it, and i saw it was really well made, with a lot of customization options and much more effort put into it. I didn't find it earlier because he started implementing it one month later than me, so for these reasons, i have to recommend to use Glitter Drag instead of DragLinks and avoid doing the same work twice in favor of his add-on.
I hope you understand it, and thanks all for all the support and reviews!

The problem
Opening links trying to keep the search results page, needs going back in history every time and many mouse clicks.
So to open in a new tab, clicking middle button hurts the finger and also you need another click to make it active , on the other hand, using context menu needs 2 clicks
The solution
Drag links towards down to open in active tab, drag towards up to open in background tab
Dragging selected text added in v1.1
I didn't find a way to get the list of current search engines, so i made an options page for the addon where you can set the query urls of your favorite service. I added four mouse movements to have more possibilities and the option to open it in background or not.
Known problems
There isn't a reliable way to know if a drag was made inside the content, or in the toolbars, or outside the window that works in all situations. This is due to a old "bug" reported since 8 years ago https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505521 So if you drag outside the content of the web page for whatever reason, it will open a new tab with that link although it isn't needed.
This add-on will not work in websites that stop the propagation of drag events.
If you have any suggestions leave a comment please :)
