After using Chrome for a decade and switching back to Firefox, one feature I missed was the ability to right-click and Go to [url] directly, for any selected text that vaguely resembles a URL.

I made Goto foo to approximately replicate Chrome's behavior in Firefox, but it would be nice if no extension were necessary.

I ran into this not long after seeing this post. This site disables links and the options aren't there. I find the context menu is pretty strange in general. But the problems it causes are small and easy to move on from so it's never really questioned. It honestly seems to have a mind of it's own sometimes. Not nearly as bad as the windows explorer context menu though.
