Hey, developer, a request: is it possible to adjust the width? I can't really see 80+% of the window I'm in when it's in front, and don't need it to show the entire page, just the comments.
I prefer this Chrome extension, which only shows the top 10 comments: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/reddit-comment-companion/dbcojchbgnoapagipaamdjfdkcmdgjek
As it is, your extension jumps open too quickly when just mousing by comment links. At least allow for a full 2 seconds or some customizable parameter. Thanks.

Is Reddit Comment Hover Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Reddit Comment Hover requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Reddit Comment Hover has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
