Now, many of you must be thinking why is there a need to shorten a URL?? There could be several reasons such as save character space, looks attractive and no one can know where's the link diverting?
Some reasons may be good for us but some such as " where's the link diverting? " may be a great problem.It can be troublesome if anyone use these service to make anyone fool.
So, if you are aware of these issues then long URL for Firefox can be very useful to you. Long URL replaces short urls with the originals so you can see where links actually link to. Short urls (eg http://tinyurl.com/123) simply redirect to some other page on the internet – you can’t tell what website they link to by looking at the link. This plugin fixes this by transparently replacing any of these links when every web page loads.
It is a free Firefox browser addon, that replaces short urls, on the the fly, with the originals so you can see where the links actually link to. With this tool you can actually tell if you have been to that page already or not.
