Preview Links & Images in Firefox - A Simple Guide
Enhance Your Firefox Browsing with CoolPreviews
Are you seeking a streamlined method for previewing links and images? A new tab or window is no longer required thanks to the CoolPreviews extension, specifically designed for Firefox.
CoolPreviews: How it Works
After installation and initiating your browsing session, a small CoolPreviews Icon will become visible when you hover over links. Simply position your mouse cursor over this icon to activate the “Preview Window”.
The “Preview Window” will appear rapidly, displaying the target webpage. Scrollbars are integrated for easy navigation of the previewed content.
A small Lock Icon is located in the upper right corner of the “Preview Window”. This allows you to either fix the window in an open state or keep it unlocked for on-demand access.
The “Preview Window” is fully movable and resizable within your browser. You can even navigate the webpage within the preview and follow embedded links.
The URL of the webpage being navigated within the preview is visible in the browser’s “Status Bar”, as demonstrated in the screenshot below.
Image Previewing

The Status Bar Icon Menu for CoolPreviews can be accessed via either a left or right mouse click.
