What is Link Status WE?
Link Status WE is a Firefox add-on that adds an indicator and link address to the status tip when hovering over links. It is a WebExtension port of Link Status Redux, with some features limited due to WebExtensions API. Users may need to manually flip the 'layout.css.visited_links_enabled' pref and hide the browser native status tip.

Add-on summary
Update: Link Status Redux 3.0 migrated to WebExtensions.
This is a WebExtension port of Link Status Redux. See the description of Link Status Redux for more details. Due to WebExtensions API limitation, this extension could not port some features:
- The "Disable visited link styling" option is no longer present. Flip the "layout.css.visited_links_enabled" pref manually from about:config if necessary.
- You will have to hide the browser native status tip manually. Add the following style rule to userChrome.css:
statuspanel[type=overLink] { display: none !important }

It seems affect the amount of scrolling from Space and the PageUp/Down keys.

It would be nice if it could be integrated with some site/service that checks the links to see if they are safe or not like WOT.
