Firefox Extensions: Your favorite or most useful

I like drag and drop add-ons. But there's one feature I can't find in any such add-on: drag and drop some text that contains multiple links to open all of the links. Several add-ons support opening single dropped links but only do websearches when larger chunks of text (with or without links) are dropped. The Maxthon browser had support for such multi-link drag and dropping. Has anyone found a way to do that on FF?
List of found add-ons:
QuickDrag 2.0.2.1 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6912
+ drop actions for link, text, image
- drop text with multiple links to open them all
Easy DragToGo 1.1.2.4 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6639
+ drop actions for link, text, image
+ directional drag
- drop text with multiple links to open them all
DragIt (formerly Drag de Go) 0.4.1.1 -
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10875
+ drop actions for link, text, image and many more
+ directional drag
- drop text with multiple links to open them all
Drag & DropZones 1.2.6 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5595
+ various drop actions (search, open, save)

- drop text with multiple links to open them all

Drag de Go 0.2.5 - https://addons.mozilla.org/sv-SE/firefox/addon/2918
Super DragAndGo 0.2.6 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/137
somewhat similar add-ons:
FireGestures 1.5.1 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6366
+ ctrl+rclick+draw line over links = open them all
draw line/rectangle over multiple links to open them:
Multi Links 1.0.0.12 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13494
OLD -- Chain Links 1.0 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10844

QuickDrag's FAQ gives a good overview of some of the differences between a few drag add-ons: http://code.kliu.org/quickdrag/faq.html
Lefax32:
I found the best extension for zooming in and out on web pages. Those who prefer shortcut operations with the mouse and like to zoom in and out a lot will love it. Thmbsup
Right-Click + Scroll Wheel Up = Zoom in
Right-Click + Scroll Wheel Down = Zoom out
Right-Click + Left-Click = Resets Zoom
Right-Click + Middle Click = Hides / Shows all toolbars but tab bar remains.

Just a heads-up, the 3.6 is finally beta or beta rc1 or something. Anyway, I just installed it and I haven't found anything broken yet. :)

Ooo...tempting, but I've got 46 extensions that are working without any problems. I think I'm going to wait a bit.
MilesAhead:
Yeah, with 46 I think I'd wait until I was forced to change. I used Opera 8.51 and FF 2.x for a long time. Hung onto Netscape 4.x as long as I could too. When I first got Netscape 7.2 it was total bloatware. But I hung onto it long enough that it became a relatively light browser.
Strange how stuff can change so fast.
