I used a browser called Maxthon Classic till recently but I needed to upgrade and came to Mozilla. One great thing about Maxthon classic is its mouse gestures which provide the ability to search text, and open links in a new tab, just by dragging that text or link a little and dropping it. This addon provides that functionality to Mozilla and more. In Maxthon classic dragging an image opened it in a new Tab. In this addon it saves the image automatically which is useful.

It is also faster (probably because Mozilla is faster). I tried other gestures, such as all in one gestures, but the latter required that I first select text and then do a seperate gesture. I prefer the drag effect. It feels like I am dragging the text into an abyss where google awaits.

You have to turn on the search function in the small addon settings screen.

It may do more than I report above but even if not, I am very satisfied.
