How To Install Snap Links.

(1) Go to SNAPLINKS firefox add-on page and install.
For version 1-3: Use this link.
For version 3.0.4: Use this instead.

NOTE: If you wish to install this in Firefox version 3.0.4, you may need to create an account/log in as this is an experimental add-on. On a personal note, I had it tested on 3.0.4 and it's worked!

(2) Restart Firefox.
(3) Go to your desired website/blog.
(4) Start drawing a rectangle/box using your mouse's right-click button.
