Link Status Redux

Link Status Redux is a powerful Firefox extension designed to enhance your browsing experience. This add-on shows an intuitive indicator on a popup panel when your mouse hovers over links to pages you've either bookmarked or previously visited. Additionally, it can display the date of your last visit to enhance your context while navigating the web.

With customizable prefixes for indicators (like a star for visited links and a place of interest sign for bookmarked ones), you can tailor it to fit your preferences. It also offers options for configuring where your indicators show up, how many lines long URLs can be, and even custom CSS for styling. Manage your web history more efficiently and with more context using Link Status Redux!
