I was halfway writing my own extension when I noticed yours, except what I need is to send the configured URL to a new tab. Would you accept a PR that adds this?

Not the purpose send-link, README excerpt:

A Firefox extension to send links via customizable context-menu-entries as GET requests (MAILTO is also supported)

 

To open a link in a new tab I would simply use Ctrl + Click or middle mouse button click...

I know how to send a link to a new tab, I need to send the URL to another server and show that output in another tab, so basically the GET request like you do, but show the response.

But nevermind, I'll fork and roll my own, thanks for your code to start from!
