-> Link Alert
Is a nice one, but I'll stick with Cursor indicator, I never needed to know more...

excellent idea.
However, the icons look outdated and too small; they are not easy to distinct. It should not be very difficult for a pro to make them even more useful.
Now I see Cursor indicator hasn't been updated for 4½ years. That might explain something...

Nice! I think I'll try Link Alert first (only one thing to install here).
Thank you both :Thmbsup:

And i can confirm that after working once, PDF Download is definitely not working consistently (or at all now) in FireFox 4. Hopefully an update will fix that soon.

@bob99:
In Firefox 4
Tools > Options > Applications > Application/pdf I set to "always ask"
There are also other choices here.

Thankyou for that note. I had not spent the time looking at that menu. That seems like quite an improvement in FF4 over the previous versions.
@mouser:
I don't have any problems with annoying PDF links since I started using Google docs to view them online by default. :Thmbsup:
If I want t save the PDF document after reading some of it, then I either save it into Google docs, or if I want the document on my laptop, then I download it from either Google docs or via the Flashgot add-in :Thmbsup: and my GetRight downloader :Thmbsup:
I don't like to download PDF files of unknown size directly in the browser as they can be very slow to download if they are large. GetRight is fastest as I have it set to download a file in up to 4 sequential segments simultaneously (each segment being a unique slice of the file). GetRight sticks them together automatically (so CRC checksums remain valid).
