In a Web page, how can I tick all checkboxes in selection?

Question

I am using a webmail (Outlook Web Access).

I have a Web page : in my mailbox, I have many messages.

I select 30 lines.

Now, I want something that would tick the 30 checkboxes that are in my selection.

I want to right-click my selection and to choose an action Tick all checkboxes.

How can I have that ?

An extension for Firefox would be nice.

I would appreciate an extension for Chrome too.

Thank you.

[Edit] I would like a solution for IE too.

Solution 1

For Firefox, use the CheckFox extension:

Solution 2

In Outlook webmail you can find on the top of the page, a box to check all: "Show: all".

Thank you @Kevin for this very complete answer. I will definitely try this !

Alas, this does not work. Neither with Chrome nor with Firefox.

I know that I have a checkbox to tick all messages. But I want to tick only a range of messages.

@NicolasBarbulesco - I tested this with IE (version 9) and Firefox (version 19.0.2) and it is working for me (I don't have Chrome installed here). I am opening outlook.com (or hotmail.com or mail.live.com) which redirects to blu175.mail.live.com. I assume that's the web-page you're talking about. What version of Firefox are you using?

[Nicolas Barbulesco]

Kevin, I have Firefox 26 on Windows.

This looks very interesting! But this extension is in version "0.9.2.1-signed".

The linked extension, Checkfox, no longer exists, although I was able to find an equivalent extension (written by someone who also needed a replacement for Checkfox): addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/checkthemall
