2024-08-25 pnhan Not every site will work (by CSP or x-forward headers), it's works. It's a bit minimalist, but if could add keyboard shortcuts/or click on the icon instead of just hovering it, it would be much better.
2024-03-31 Froasch Clunky, unpretty, but technically works !
2023-11-25 Irwan it does work. though instead of a preview, it shows you the fully functioning whole page of the link.
2023-03-02 jrmy Nearly perfect for my usage. Just annoying when accidentaly hovering link. I made a version of this module with the need to click the icon to open preview. I'm not a dev so don't expect more. If interrested: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/less-simple-link-preview/

2022-12-20 Tarantula Doesnt do anything, just shows the preview windows but EMPTY. no matter if its the only extension installed.
2022-10-20 fffanman Simple Link Preview was working great, but it stopped working after I upgraded to FireFox 106.0 (64-bit)* under Windows 10 Pro 21H1. No SLP icon appears when I hover over any URL. Any suggestions? Any known conflicts with other FF extensions? *I don't recall my previous FF version. Thanks!
