TinyURL: Firefox Add-on for Easy URL Shortening
"TinyURL" is a Firefox add-on that converts long URLs into 'tiny' ones using tinyurl.com or is.gd, and automatically copies the short URL to your clipboard in a single click. It also adds supportive context menus to tabs and produces unpretentious notifications. With permissions to access clipboard data, browser tabs, and your data for all websites, it aims for a truly seamless one-click experience.
