Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 12564382, 5 years agoI've only used this for 30 seconds, but I think it should be stock. I will update my review if my opinion majorly changes.

- Rated 4 out of 5by technoxenoholic, 4 hours agoextremely helpful for keeping track of already-visited pages such as videos and articles. unfortunately, the addon fails to recognize "link" and "link+tracking" as the same address. in cases such as youtube's randomly-appearing "&pp=" parameter additions to links (added to different links on the page with each refresh), the addon will not recognize that it should be flagging a video url as already visited. if such tracking parameters were ignored and the same link with and without the tracking parameters were considered synonymous (as it were), this addon would earn five stars.

- Rated 3 out of 5by stetor, 5 years agoSuffered a problem from year ... finally, over a long "disable and try" process, i've found that the problem was this addon ... with this addon installed i'm unable to have the login page in this site (https://manage.opensrs.com) so i think that many other site can have the same problem
========== added after dev answer ==========
ok, thank for your answer and your effort trying to solve the problem ... i've modified my review giving you 3 star instead of 1 starDeveloper response
posted 5 years agoThat page *really* does not like to have an iframe in it. I do not think there is any way to fix this other than disabling LSR (for that site). I have amended https://github.com/jaatroko/link-status-redux/issues/7 to mention also this type of issue(s).
(As a side note, that page takes forever to load even when it works without any addons enabled, hurrah for the modern web I guess...) - Rated 5 out of 5by ergonomic-cat, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Peter Lyons Kehl, 5 years agoWhen I restart Firefox (77.0.1) and I switch to any tab for the first time in the new FF session, the page loads partially up. Then it flickers/blinks before showing up fully.
Loading of tabs works correctly without Link Status Redux (with all other extensions/settings the same). So the problem is caused by Link Status Redux.Developer response
posted 5 years agoCannot reproduce, see https://github.com/jaatroko/link-status-redux/issues/25 for details. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14064657, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by LostPacket, 6 years agoThank you for a nice extension.
2019-09-07 OP (now obsolete): I am seeing one (old) bug though: placement next to mouse cursor works correctly only at 100% zoom level. At other zoom levels, the popup gets proportionally misplaced (position seems to be relative to top/left corner of the page).
2019-11-08 Edit: Fix in 3.11 confirmed, thank you (rating adjusted accordingly).Developer response
posted 6 years agoThe bug seems to be difficult/impossible to fix, see https://github.com/jaatroko/link-status-redux/issues/23 for details. Edit: fixed in version 3.11. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14535628, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15167684, 6 years agoAwesome extension! It's working on 68.0.1. I particularly liked the documentation, I've opted to replace the native status panel by disabling it via userChrome.css. This and "Dark Scroll" extension are a must have for cleaning up Firefox UI.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15104231, 6 years agoLightweight and dead simple. This thing is great. Unbelievable that Mozilla doesn't include it in Firefox. STILL works as of Firefox 67 (in July of 2019). Nice.

- Rated 4 out of 5by ray_bk, 7 years agoI am using this addon v3.5 on Firefox v62 under Windows 7. This addon is great!
I have setting, "Above browser's native overlink panel (with no URL shown by default)", Offset from bottom: 16.
When I visit a page with maximized Firefox window and hover my mouse over a link, this addon perfectly displays last visited date just above the link text in the native overlink panel.
However, if I set Firefox window to normal state and resize it with smaller window width, a horizontal scroll bar appears in Firefox window. At this moment, if I hover the link in the page, the last visited date is not perfectly located just above the link text in the native overlink panel. There is a gap between them. So, the position is affected by the horizontal scroll bar.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI made an issue on github about this gap, see https://github.com/jaatroko/link-status-redux/issues/13 for details. Edit: fixed in version 3.6. Developer response
posted 7 years agoWell, that is unfortunate, but without any details all I can do is offer generic debugging advice: make sure you have the latest version of LSR, try with a clean profile and default settings without any other add-ons installed. Also note that with default settings LSR does not display anything if the link is not visited.Developer response
posted 7 years agoNo. Unless you have knowledge to the contrary, the WebExtension API has not been amended to allow this.- Rated 4 out of 5by Sumer123, 7 years agoThanks for the developer, works fine except on one site (http://www.infosva.org/index.php). If I disable the add on (version 3.4)the site works (no error 404). Tried with old version 3.0 and works fine.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis is the exact same problem that I run into a month or so ago on a different site. I developed the fix, but did not hurry with a new version as it was only that one site (for me).
This is fixed in version 3.5, see https://github.com/jaatroko/link-status-redux/commit/4ebda746fc85340790e2a7ed3fb19c3daaa9b51b if you want to know the details.
