I used ArtCursors to make the ones in the post (http://www.aha-soft.com/artcursors/). Then encoded them using this tool: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/cgi/data/data Just make sure to check the Base64 checkbox. Also, I read it doesn't have to be a .cur file but haven't tried it.

I only wish that I could figure out how to modify the images in the tweak so that I could make my own images. With the extension, it is very easy to change an image or add new ones.

Well, it’s possible. Set custom cursors for links : Mozilla Links

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could know if clicking on a link will open a new window or if it will trigger a JavaScript function instead of just taking you to a different web page? Well, it’s possible.

In fact in the past I reviewed Link Alert (http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2007/01/better-informed-clicks-with-link-alert/). Personally I prefer these kind of tweaks rather than extensions, but are worth mentioning in the article so I'll update it. Didn't know about Target Alert but it seems to be no longer maintained in Mozilla Add-ons. Do you know of a more updated version? Brian, Nicholas and David, thanks for the suggestions.

I'll likely only use the JavaScript one though since I usually press CTRL+click to force my links into a new window. But very neat. I like this.
