URL Tooltip makes it easier to know where you’re going

In Firefox, you have to drive your eyes to the status bar while hovering a link to know where it will take you. Not anymore with URL Tooltip, a Firefox extension developed by Tim Tate, that shows the target URL as a tooltip, along with the title attribute (if present) defined by the content author.

URL Tooltip

Pretty simple and pretty useful as it helps to get rid of the status bar and gain a few extra screen lines.

Get URL Tooltip from Mozilla Add-ons.

Only useful if you hide Firefox status bar

Er, no? As the post says, even with the status bar on, you still have to drive your eyes down there to check. May sound like a minor issue, but if you use the Internet a lot it can get pretty tiring.

Oh yes,I use internet a LOT, and no, it’s not that tiring to look at the statusbar

Webpages often provide useful information in the form of tooltips. So does this override the original tooltip?
