Linky
Do you use Firefox?
If so, do you handle a lot of links while you’re surfing the
Web or are you always using a bunch of tabs and windows at the same
time? If that sounds familiar, I've got the perfect program for you
today! It's called Linky and it's a great little
tool that helps you along whenever you're working with links in Firefox.
Let's check it out, shall we?!
1.) To download
Linky, go here and
click on the link in the gray box that says "Install
latest version of Linky."
2.) Click Install
Now and Linky will begin to install.
3.) Restart Firefox
and then go to WorldStart’s homepage: http://www.worldstart.com.
4.) Right click
anywhere on the page and then hover over the option that says Linky.
Once you do that, a handy little toolbar will materialize right in
front of your eyes!
5.) For example,
did you know that WorldStart's homepage has 44 links and 27 images?
No, I didn’t hand count them. I used Linky!
Apart from counting
the number of links on a page, Linky can also open every single link
on a page, open every image link on a page and it even shows every
single image on the page in a separate tab. How cool is that?! And
that's not all Linky can do. Here are a couple more examples!
Images
Galore
To open every
single image on a page in a new tab, follow these simple instructions:
1.) Choose a Web
page and then right click anywhere on it.
2.) Hover over
the option that says Linky.
3.) Now, choose
"Show all images in one tab."
4.) Next, you
need to choose which images you’d like to open. If you want
all of them, go ahead and click Open Selected Links.
If not, uncheck "Select all of the links"
and then check each image you want to open. Like this:
5.) In a separate
tab, your images will be displayed!
But wait, there’s
more! If for whatever reason you want to open a load of links on a
page all in separate tabs, Linky can help you with that too! With
Linky, you don’t have to individually open each and every link
you want. You can just use the text box interface shown above for
all your links as well!
For example, go
to WorldStart's Web site and right click. Choose Linky
and then select "Open all links in tabs."
If you want to open every link, just click on Open Selected
Links. If not, uncheck "Select all of the links"
and choose the ones you wish to open. You can also open all of the
links you have previously viewed by doing this:
1.) Open the Linky
interface (right click, Linky, "Open
all links in tabs").
2.) Uncheck "Select
all of the links."
3.) Now, check
"Select already visited links" and then
click "Open selected links."
4.) You’ll
then be presented with every link you've clicked on before in a separate
tab!
Give Linky a try
today!
