User Reviews

I'm surprised this hasn't been reviewed yet. Your Add-on seems to be the only one on the Mozilla store that actually does what it claims to do and does it well! Though the copy expanded url option in the context menu doesn't work for me, the other option to open the expanded url in a new tab works great and that's exactly what i was looking for. Great job!
