Long URL Please for Firefox helps you look both ways before clicking links

If you're tired of clicking on shortened URLs without knowing exactly what web site they're taking to you, Long URL Please can help. This Firefox add-on automatically converts most shortened URLs on any web site into old fashioned long and boring URLs.

The extension supports 64 popular URL shortening services including TinyURL, Snipr, bit.ly, and Digg. Long URL Please attempts not to break your page formatting, which means that you may not see the complete address in a web page. Instead, it will chop off the end of most URLs when displaying them on a web page. But if you mouse over the web address your browser status bar should fill in the blanks, letting you know whether the link goes to CNN or a less reputable site that you may not want to visit while at work.
