Firefox Add-ons...

[Lie-in King]

Good evening! I've been Googling & gather that there's an Add-on available for Firefox that will stop the annoying (to me, anyway) "URL pop-ups" when hovering the cursor over a link.

I've looked, but can't find the relevant Add-on - can anyone assist me?

Also, do I understand correctly that there is no way to disable this in IE9 as yet?

With thanks for your time & attention, L-i K :-)

you may find them annoying but they are a very useful security feature and I'd seriously suggest not removing it. for example... the following code on a website

<a href="http://www.FakeWebSite.com">http://www.
genuinewebsite.com</a>


Would display a link on the page that looked like this http://genuinewebsite.com but when you click on the link it would infact take you to the web address of www.FakeWebSite.com

The "annoying pop-ups" will always display the address the link is actually going to take you to, not the link that is shown so it's a very useful way of seeing that a link might be fake before clicking on it and doing damage.

Oh well, guess I'll have to leave it alone - thanks for your help, Chuck! :-)

Adblock plus is a simple firefox add on but very useful.stops pop ups and 99% of adverts
