Create a TinyUrl the Easy Way in Firefox

Have you ever tried to email or IM somebody a link from a site that has ridiculously long URLs, only to have the link break because it was too long or got cut off? The solution to this problem is to use a service like TinyUrl that turns a really long link into a really short link.

Once installed, just right-punch any link, and choose “Create TinyURL for this Page”.

Note that this doesn’t save as a bookmark, it saves in the extension’s saved panel.

To view TinyURLs that you have previously saved, go to Tools \ TinyUrl Creator \ View Saved.

Here you might see the list of saved links, and then copy the TinyURL to your clipboard.

This is extremely useful for links that you oughta use often.
