## Description

Link Status WE is a Firefox add-on that adds an indicator and link address to the status tip when hovering over links. It is a WebExtension port of Link Status Redux, with some features limited due to WebExtensions API. Users may need to manually flip the 'layout.css.visited_links_enabled' pref and hide the browser native status tip.
