Right Links is a Firefox and SeaMonkey extension that's very useful for touchpads in notebooks or mice without middle button.
Works with links from page, bookmarks (only from Bookmarks menu and from Bookmarks Toolbar) and with links from History menu.
Hold any modifier (Ctrl, Alt or Shift) during right-click for access to context menu of link. Or you can, without releasing the button, wait for 0.5 seconds (configurable) - in Firefox 3.0+ context menu will be shown and in previous versions link will blink once.
F2 or Tools – Right Links (or simply click on icon in status bar) for switch on / off. Also you can add toolbar button (View – Toolbar – Customize).
Note: JavaScript-links loads in current tab.
Hotkey customization:
○ extensions.rightlinks.key.toggleStatus – modifiers + key
You can use following modifiers: control, alt, shift, meta, accel.

Key: any character or special code ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL_Tutorial/Keyboard_Shortcuts#Keycode_attribute )
Example (for Ctrl+Alt+R):
