- by Firefox user 13094095, a year agoRated 4 out of 5Please add "Show hovering URL" as a new feature, it will make the extension 100% better.
It's a little bit pointless when those icons tells you the link is external and you need to move your eye every single time to bottom side of the browser and making sure the link is safe to go. - by F-3000, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5It works as supposed to. Only minus I've noticed is that if you click a (javascript) link for printing a page, the indicator-icon(s) appear in the print. Would have noticed dev directly about this, but he doesn't provide info for contacting.

posted 2 years agoI'm glad you like it. This issue has been reported before and I am looking into it. - by Firefox user 14136620, 2 years agoRated 5 out of 5Excellent. Just a little incompatibility with "Dark background and Light Text": The background of the box is no longer displayed.
Could you fix ? Thank You.Developer response

- by Firefox user 13606724, 3 years agoRated 4 out of 5I have been using the add-on for a long time and found it to be very useful. There is, however, at least one issue with the new version (2.0.0). The link icon that pops up doesn't vanish any more when the page is printed (using a "print" link in the webpage itself), but remains visible on the printed page.
I think there was an option to turn off the printing of the icon in the old version of LinkAlert, but I cannot find it in the option menu of version 2.0.0 any more.
(Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Firefox 57.0.2 64-bit, German language settings) - by stain, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5To Dev: Change 'realtive' to 'relative' in ./src/mousebox.js or examine your console for errors. (v 2.0.0)
Please. - by Firefox user 13458642, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5

- by Firefox user 5494239, 3 years agoRated 3 out of 5Have used and enjoyed this extension since a long time ago. However, after porting it it ceased to work altogether on FF developer, whereas it still functioned as a legacy add-on before the latest update.
- by metaphil, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Thanks for porting it! The extension got even better!
(doesn't seem to work in nightly 58.0 at the moment, however?) - by Firefox user 13120004, 3 years agoRated 2 out of 5one of the most useful add-on.
unfortunately it doesn't work in multi-process mode for me still - by Alek, 4 years agoRated 5 out of 5Are you planning to add e10s support? Right now Link Alert is shown as incompatible by Addon Compatibility Reporter and on the e10s site: https://www.arewee10syet.com/#1711

posted 4 years agoYou'll be glad to know an e10s version is in the works. It's an almost complete re-write so it may take sometime.
Edit: Good news! The latest version has been updated for e10s. - by wolwerinе, 4 years agoRated 4 out of 5Latest version slowdown firefox after some time after start. 1.0.2 don't have this problem.
