I've noticed that when I use Long Left-Click to open a link in a Google search window that the link doesn't change from blue to purple, however, if I open it a second time using Long Left-Click or open it using Right-Click/Open Link in New Tab that it does change color.
I see. This is because Google change link on mousedown
event to something like http://www.google.com/url?...
. And long left-click also starts on mousedown
, but before scripts from page, so will be remembered (and opened after delay) initial direct link.
This can be (and should be, I think) fixed from Right Links side, but you also can use Google/Yandex search link fix extension or Remove fake links script for Greasemonkey to remove such tracking links.
Test version: right_links-0.3.8.4pre-fx-sm.xpi (source).
Infocatcher: thanks for your reply. The user script didn't change anything but the Google/Yandex search link fix did the job. Thanks again.
The user script didn't change anything
Strange, works fine for me.
but the Google/Yandex search link fix did the job.
Great. But can you please also check updated Right Links from https://github.com/Infocatcher/Right_Links/issues/9#issuecomment-34974434 without any scripts and extensions?
Perhaps I applied the user script incorrectly (although Greasemonkey seemed to think everything was OK). I just checked the updated Right Links above and that works great on a couple of test Google searches. Thank you very much :) .
Edit: Seems I misunderstood the term "Close".
Hi Infocatcher. I just received email notification of your closing of this thread (but nothing regarding your "fixed?" post or I would've replied earlier). I tested some links with your newest version of Right Links, and with the Google/Yandex search link disabled, and all was well. Thanks again for your help :) .
Now there is official (but not yet reviewed) release: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/right-links/versions/0.3.8.4
Infocatcher: Thank you very much for Right Links, it's a Five-Star add-on and I really appreciate it :) . I've noticed that when I use Long Left-Click to open a link in a Google search window that the link doesn't change from blue to purple, however, if I open it a second time using Long Left-Click or open it using Right-Click/Open Link in New Tab that it does change color. Please, is there a way to make it so that opening a link one time using Long Left-Click changes the link from blue to purple? Thanks for your time.
