10 years ago While I wouldn't mind adding the feature mentioned, I'd also like the performance to be good everywhere, I've reproduced what you're talking about and will see what I can do about both.
This is how I tend to browse my Facebook feed: scroll through, right click to open any articles/blog posts/whatever that interest me in new tabs, then close Facebook and read all the stuff that I opened. But I frequently run into a problem where SLP tries to select multiple links on Facebook when I really only meant to right click + open in new tab on a single link, not using SLP at all. Then I can't unselect them and usually the whole browser freezes (I get a continue/stop script message first), so I have to close it down and start scrolling through FB from the top again if I want to get back to where I was.
I am certain this is more FB's fault than SLP's, but I'm sure you also know the futility of asking FB to fix anything. :) Today I finally applied myself to the problem and opened up the SLP options, hoping there would be a way to disable it just on facebook.com, but alas there was not. Instead I made it so that I have to right click AND hold down ctrl in order to select links using SLP...hopefully that will take care of the problem for now. I am not a developer and have no idea if disabling the add-on only on select sites is even possible, but just a suggestion. Also just to let you know that this happens, in case you hadn't heard about it from anyone. It's never happened to me on any other site. It's not my mouse hand slipping and accidentally selecting multiple links--it seems to be when I right-click on certain articles and Facebook decides to show me "related articles" that I don't actually care about right under the link I wanted. Thanks!
