Add-ons
Simple and helpful Rated 5 out of 5 stars
When I need short URL, I just right-click on the page.

Great addon! It'll be useful but doesnt do the thing I went searching for such an add on - I want to right click *on a link* and see "Copy Shortened Link Location".I love how it will use the "canonical" short url if available.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.5).Good work, but... Rated 5 out of 5 stars
The add-on is very good, almost perfect, but, as I saw in another review, a preferences button would be nice, or a button in the toolbar, so you could just click it and to make the shortUrl... and one other issue (I assume that it is only for me) the add-on was working perfectly until a couple a days ago. The option with the right click, isn't available when I try to copy a short url of a picture. When I reinstall the add-on, the option is available again, but if I close the firefox, the issue continues. Could you tell me why is that ? Thanks in advance, dnisko

missing custom makers of shortcuts, eg. goo.gl
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.4).That's not true: You can specify your URL shortener by editing an about:config value: http://copy-shorturl.readthedocs.org/en/latest/serviceurl.html
Until very recently, Mozilla's add-ons SDK did not contain any way to make a preferences page for your add-on so that was an issue. I should be able to make editing the custom URL shorteners easier soon.
Perfect! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Good Job!

I agree with the remarks of Walid Damouny. I would add that the extension needs an easier way to specify the fallback URL shortener instead of modifying the correspondent key in the about:config page, for the sake of less experienced users. I could not find a Preferences button in the Addons page in Firefox. Other than that, this is almost perfect.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.2).Thank you for your review! I agree that setting the fallback should be easier. Sadly, the Add-ons SDK framework (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/1.1/) does not yet support a "preferences" button and form, so it is sufficiently complicated to add a settings panel at the moment. There is an open enhancement bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645207) on the matter, but it does not seem to be currently active.
I'll keep investigating how I can make the settings available more easily within the restrictions that the Addons SDK makes! Suggestions greatly appreciated!

Great Add-On... much useful
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4).Really useful :) Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Really useful but I wish it had 3 more features:
1. Have an optional button that can be placed in a toolbar or selectively in the add-on bar.
2. Have an optional icon that can show up in the address bar.
3. Use the above mentioned buttons to expose the short URL if present without shortening the long one (my most wanted feature).
I'd really like to use this extension for its name's sake. There already are URL shortening extensions from their respective websites and also a tonne of other extensions that do the same thing but this is the only one I found that actually copies a short URL if present.
Thanks :)
need a button Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4).great Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thank you..Just got this nice addon...and it works great. Just wish I could remember to use it more often. Maybe a button showing at toolbar?

Best add-on by far. But if you wish to turn off notifications its an easy process.
Just go to about:config, set the setting extensions.copyshorturl.notifications to:
0: Switches off notifications altogether
1: Always uses a standard notification bar
2: Uses Growl if present, a notification bar otherwise.
Almost Perfect Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This does a great job of pulling the custom short urls out of a web page. I wish, though, that it wasn't buried behind a context menu or that there was a toolbar button available for it. Coming from another shortener extension, I find myself missing the ability to make a short url to an image - the option for shortening only appears while viewing a page.

L'application a l'air bien mais je n'arrive pas à la faire fonctionner! Quelqu'un peut il m'aider et m'expliquer s'il vous plaît ça serait sympa!
Quand je clique sur le bouton droit, rien n'apparaît!
The app looks like good but I can't use it! Somebody can help me et explain to me please, it would be nice! When I click on the right click there is nothing. Thanks!
Thank you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars
