I didn’t think such a simple extension would have options. Looks like they thought of everything.

Sorry, I found the option. I didn’t even notice I had a new line in my Tools Menu (Zoho Options). The option is there.

That must be something that is hard coded into the extension because I noticed it too. No matter what I try there is no way to get around it.

Is there a way to force the link to open in a new tab (foreground or background)? I have Tab Mix Plus and every option points to the link opening in a new tab, yet this extension opens the link in a new window.

It’s nice to see you guys continuously checking out what people are saying about your products. I also saw that you posted articles that compare your products to the competitors…I like it!

Yeah, it does take a little while to load some of the large files but it is nice being able to open them from within the browser. I’m sure there are still some kinks they need to work out but overall it is a great addition to the browser.

I tried this on both IE7 and Firefox 2 with luck with documents. I had an issues with a large PowerPoint Presentation on IE7 (it hanged and froze the browser), but that same PowerPoint presentation worked in Firefox. I haven’t tried any other files except your examples. I’ll keep the add-ons and use them. Thanks!
