Add Paste and Go Feature to Firefox
1 of the many great features in Opera is the way it loads a site automatically when you paste the URL into the address box. 
The same applies to search, just paste the search term and the search runs automatically without the need to hit "Enter" or the Search button.
Paste and Go is a Firefox extension that gives you similar functionality in Firefox. It's not quite as elegant as the Opera implementation in that u need to use Shift Ctrl V to paste and go rather than just Ctrl V but, nonetheless, it will save you time every day.

Re: Add Paste and Go Feature to Firefox
thnx for sharing it buddy. 
I want one extension for firefox, which can do as following:
Suppose I select a sentence or group of sentences and when I right-click on it after selecting the text, I get an option to open it in a new tab or something like that. Is there any extension available for this task? 
PS: It should be posted in Reviews section.

Can you explain it a little more and your purpose behind this functionality? That will help us in searching more properly.

Re: Add Paste and Go Feature to Firefox
eddie there's such a feature called 'Go To URL' in opera. You can select a bunch of text, right click on it and press go to url. Comes in handy when the url isn't shown as a link. Consider foo.bar.com now this won't be automatically highlighted as url, you will have to copy/paste it into the location bar. Say, you are reading some .txt page on your browser and stumble upon a link, you can right away highlight that link, right click and click 'Go to url'

Hehe...that is disappointing but the hack is very easy and works like a charm...
- Download the .xpi file.
- Rename from .xpi to .zip/.rar
- Open the file in Winzip/WinRAR.
- Open file "install.rdf" in NotePad by double clicking
- Find maxVersion and change the maxVersion part from 2.0.0.* ...to... 3.0.1.*
- Accept Winzip/WinRAR asking to update the archive.
- Exit Winzip/WinRAR, and rename the .zip/.rar to .xpi
- Drag&Drop the file into FF3.
Bingo....you're good to go
