Bring Zen Browser Glance for Firefox

[Bohemax]

Hello. I find Zen Browser's Glance feature very useful. Being able to see what's inside a link with a single click (alt+click,ctrl+click or something) without even opening it, when you search on Google or on websites like Reddit, really saves time and eliminates the hassle of opening and closing multiple tabs one by one. I think the Firefox team would use their resources more effectively if they focused on a feature like Glance instead of Preview.Zen Glance

@Bohemax is this what you're looking for? 

Try Link Previews in Firefox 142 - See What’s Behind a Link Before You Click

@Jon No. If I'm not mistaken, Link Preview uses AI to only provide a summary of the page or a preview of its featured sections. Glance, on the other hand, shows a preview of the page itself and leaves the decision of whether the page is what the user is looking for to the user, not to AI.

Seconded! Zen's glance feature is incredible and having it native to Firefox would be brilliant. Being able to quickly read and navigate a page without committing to opening a new tab would be great for productivity.

Demo of working:
https://docs.zen-browser.app/assets/user-manual/glance/glance.webm

So alt+click opens a preview of link in the same tab like a html element

Clicking close closes tab and clicking expand, expands it and shows it as a new tab seamlessly. The idea is to prevent people from opening too many tabs from searchpages and to only have tabs when needed.
