User Reviews
Users find the add-on simple and useful, especially for opening links from highlighted text via the context menu. It generally works on supported Firefox versions. However, reliability issues (not recognizing all links), tab-duplication problems, and a two-item menu reduce usability. Maintenance appears lacking, with references to obsolete support on older FF versions. Some sites fail to work and there are requests for feature gaps (filtering/copying links, failure feedback). Overall, handy but with notable reliability and maintenance concerns. Pros
- Simple, useful, and easy to use.
- Opens links from highlighted text via the context menu, enabling quick access.
- Works as described on supported Firefox versions.
- Lightweight tool that delivers quick access to links without extra complexity.
Cons
- Inconsistent link recognition; not all links are opened reliably.
- Creates duplicate tabs or many blank tabs when opening multiple links.
- UI is split into two menu items; users would prefer a single, streamlined action.
- Not maintained and has compatibility issues on older Firefox versions.
- Site-specific failures (e.g., addons.mozilla.org) and missing features like filtering/copying links, plus lack of failure feedback.

Non funziona. Dopo aver selezionato i links e premuto i relativi tasti dal menù contestuale, non apre nessuna tab.

Is Open Selected Links Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Open Selected Links does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Open Selected Links is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
