I always share good articles and good piece of tech news with my friends. Sometimes the links are so long that they break or cut- off which really irritates me. I have seen it on twitter, that it turns the long urls into a tiny URL. Soon I found the solution to this problem, there is service called TinyUrl that turns a long link into a short link.
If you find yourself using this feature all the time, then you need the TinyUrl Creator extension for Firefox, which makes it very easy to not only create TinyUrls, but access the ones that you've already created.
For that you have to install this Firefox extension. Once installed, just right-click on any link, and choose "Create TinyURL for this Page".
With the default settings you'll get a popup confirmation that tells you the new link has been copied to your clipboard.
If you click the Save button, you can save the new TinyURL into Firefox. Note that this doesn't save as a bookmark, it saves in the extension's saved panel.
To view TinyURLs that you have saved, go to Tools \ TinyUrl Creator \ View Saved.
There you can see the list of all the saved links, and then the copy of the TinyUrl on the clipboard. This extension has been so helpful and useful for me…as I m in habit of sharing goods links with colleagues and Friends.
Isn’t it so easy to use…. And at any point you need help or Support with Internet Browser installation you can always contact us at 1 800 602 586.
Good Day and Happy New Year to all…
