Named anchors (aka the “#” symbol) are a problem.

example

United States Constitution - The U.S. Constitution Online

You can’t jump to:

I’ve changed the browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to true but this doesn’t help.

The add-on adds a leading gap to the URL. When hovering the mouse over the address bar, the URL shifts to the left.

Occurs when Strata40 theme is installed. Example here: http://stratabuddy.googlecode.com/issues/atta…f9185&inline=1

Very nice addon!

I vote for subdomain->domain and anchor->no-anchor jumps.

Color/Font setup for URL parts other than domain would be useful too.

Can you add option to disable ’Linkifies URL segments’ feature?

Thanks

great extension, thank you!

would be nice if the extension could break up the URL into multiple lines (on key + mouse hover o.s.s.) especially for long URLs to make it easer find and edit query parameters

example.org > mypath / morpath / script
arg1 = somehsortorlongterm
arg2 = 2
arg[child1] = mordata
arg[child2] = data

or even

example.org > mypath / morpath / script
arg1 = somehsortorlongterm
arg2 = 2
arg =
child1 = mordata
child2 = data

Safari doesn’t allow for this kind of extension. (And I wouldn’t have time for it either.)

hello and thanks for this excellent extension!

i tried to figure out the rule according to which the favicon/mouse-linkification behaves but i just don’t get it. for me, it’s not always working/doesn’t seem to work in a regular way (how many seconds, some sophisticated way to move the mouse…).

could you please explain in which way the “linkification after hovering mouse over favicon” works? (in german: “nach dem bewegen der maus über das favicon können verlinkte segmente angeklickt werden”)

linkification with ctrl-key works perfectly, but i’d like to use the favicon thing as easily if possible. i’d appreciate your clarification, thank you.

Is there any chance you could make something similar for the search box, so that you can click on a word to do a “Find in page” on it?

You can use SearchWP for that.

Is that still alive? If they come up with an update for Firefox 4 I’ll try asking if they’ll implement a UI option like Locationbar2 then. Specifically, being able to choose whether to highlight or not based on which direction the mouse approaches from is something I like a lot from Locationbar2, and not changing the size of the text when highlighting.
