This software displays an icon on the status bar whenever the mouse cursor is placed over a link to a webpage that has been bookmarked or previously visited.
Link Status is a Firefox add-on that allows users to easily identify the status of links by displaying a star icon on the status bar. Whenever the mouse cursor is placed over a link to a bookmarked or visited page, the add-on shows a yellow star for bookmarked pages and a white star for visited but not bookmarked pages. Additionally, the date of the last visit is also displayed.
One of the unique features of Link Status is that it works not only with text links but also with image links. Typically, image links lack any visual cues to indicate whether they are linked to visited pages or not, but with Link Status, users can easily identify them.
In Firefox 3.5 and later versions, users also have the option to disable the way Firefox renders visited links. This can be done by selecting the "Disable visited link styling" or "Ignore :visited link style" checkbox from the Options/Preferences button in the add-ons dialog box. By doing this, users can prevent web servers from using this feature of Firefox to investigate which pages they have visited, and thereby reduce the risk to privacy.
Link Status is available in two languages: Japanese and English (US). If users are running Firefox in any other language, the English (US) version will be automatically used. It is important to note that although the add-on icons may not be consistent with certain themes, the functionality remains unchanged.
Overall, Link Status is a useful Firefox add-on for users who want to easily identify the status of links without having to mouse over them. It is also a great tool for protecting user privacy by allowing users to disable the visited link styling feature of Firefox.
