    How can I change the color of everything other than the domain name? I’d prefer them to be black and the domain name strong. Now they are too light and hard to read.

    Second the request about separate subdomain links!

    If I follow a link to
    http://wiki.developers.facebook.com

    I would like to be able to click “developers” and go to http://developers.facebook.com
    or click anywhere within “facebook.com” to go to http://facebook.com

    Thanks for a great plugin either way :)

    Really nice add-on! But I got a very small problem in combination with any Firefox Glass/Vista add-on out there. Locationbar is cutting 1 or 2 pixels width from the last character of each URL segment. I tried several Glass/Vista add-ons but it is always the same.

    I’ve made a screenshot to make it clear:

    Best regards!
    Hello!
    I have the same problem. The issue appears with addon “Glasser” activated. When Glasser is deactivated everything is fine.
    Will the problem be fixed soon?
    I would appreciate it much!!

    Thank you!

    Regards

    My biggest request would be to separate the query string and the URL path as separate clickable strings.

    Frequently when I’m testing, I want to go back to the base page, without query strings, but the only way is by manually editing.

    The linkification doesn’t seem to be working well with Firefox 3.6 on my Mac.
  11. Andy wrote on January 26, 2010 07:18 PM GMT ():
    Hey, I have a suggestion.
    Why not make the linkification work for subdomains as well? (the same thing to the left of the domain as on the right)
    Ganz meine Meinung. Bitte Subdomains und Domains seperat klickbar machen und bitte auch am ende die datei vom hash-tag (…/index.php#anker) trennen.

    ansonsten: top-plugin, dickes dickes danke

    Klasse und sehr nützliche Erweiterung, eine Kleinigkeit stört mich lediglich ein wenig und wollte mal fragen, ob man das irgendwie ändern kann:
  14. Paul wrote on January 31, 2010 11:40 PM GMT ():
    I would like to have an option to display non-ASCII characters in a different color. As these characters are now or soon will be legitimate in URLs they will sometimes be used to mislead the unwary. Clearly users of languages that need the extra characters won’t want this but it could still be an option for English users.

    Ich wäre auch sehr dafür, dass man auch in Subdomains unterteilt und die Hauptdomain einzeln anklickbar macht. :-)

    Sonst: Super-Ding, das, danke!

    I need this to recognize question marks, ampersands and number signs as segment points. I’m often browsing collections on AMO and find myself having to manually clear the extension the site needlessly adds to the URL because I don’t want un-needed extenders in my bookmarks (I have thousands of them and am worried about file mass, especially when it comes to syncing bookmarks).

    Great addon. I install it every time I reinstall FF!

    I only miss 2 features that are requested many times:
    * possible to click subdomains.
    * possible to click url search fragments.

    Keep up the great work.

    For linkification feature, please, could you add this option: [ ] Use the same tab.
    To open a parent URL in the same tab browser.
    Thanks and regards
