I IE you have the option to right-click on a webpage and choosing Show Links which will open a new window showing the links in the current webpage. This could be made into Mozilla too. Just instead of opening a new window a sidebar would appear. I willing to write JS code is I knew how to open a new sidebar...

This is a really cool idea. There is a bug right now on allowing JS to open the sidebar.

I have created a sidebar links panel. It is quiet functional but still in development. http://segment7.net/mozilla/links/links.html It will display all the links in the current page, but the text-stripping is complete yet. Check this out to see if it does what you want.

Just so you can compare the IE thing I was talking about: "Links List" from http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/IE/WebAccess/ie5tools.asp

Reassigning 50 Sidebar bugs to Matt. I was told this was going to be done shortly about two months ago, but it clearly hasn't been. I think that's long enough for all these bugs to remain assigned to nobody. Feel free to filter all this spam into the trashcan by looking for this string in the message body: ducksgoquack

I think Mozilla should have a fully-fledged Links sidebar panel by default, with a checkbox to specify whether it should always update the list when you go to a new page, or whether it should only change when you drag a proxy icon into it. Eric, can you talk to someone about getting your Links panel checked in, as a starting-point?

The UI could use some work, but the Links panel is very nice. Eric, could you send me the relevant files/diffs (blakeross@telocity.com) so I can get them checked in?

Blake: I'm waiting for hewitt to check in work on his DOM inspector and the related DOM RDF datasource work. As is, I feel the Links Panel is too slow to be used reliably. For example, the browser will freeze for several seconds while building the list during browsing of lxr.mozilla.org. Once I get the templates in to pull the links from the DOM RDF datasource this should go much faster and will be more in line with the rest of the sidebar panels (bookmarks and history).

spam : changing qa to sujay (New Sidebar QA)

This is an addon for IE - is does not appear to come with the standard distribution. To nondevelopers, this "feature" is just bloat. I believe that this feature should remain an addon to Mozilla and not part of Mozilla.

Here's a bookmarklet that does something similar: http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/powersurfing.html#search_links

-> default owner

Not context-sensitive and not common, so this would be in a main menu if it was added to Mozilla. Opera has this feature and calls it "Links in Frame" (Ctrl+J). See also bug 58852, make it easier to get to links using the keyboard.

This may be a dup of bug 103704, which includes making it possible to navigate to a link shown in the Links tab of Page Info.

Should this bug still actually be assigned to Samir, or is he/she no longer an active developer?
