The inital reason to creating this addon, was so i could "CTRL+Click" on one of

my bookmark folders which contain (quite a few) bookmarks and the containing

bookmarks would open without the browser freezing or becoming unresponsive,

because i am sure my PC is a actually a potato in disguise. Since i could not

find any other addon which at the time seemed to be able to do this, i created

this addon to fill the gap.

Usage/Features



  
open background tabs (for example via CTRL+Left Mouse Button)

  
(optional) set black/-whitelist URLs on the preference page
