Install the Interclue add-on for the Firefox Web browser, and from
then on when you move your mouse over a link you'll see a small
icon appear next to it. Click the icon, and you'll see a pop-up
preview of the link destination.
The pop-up preview shows selected text and images on the left side,
along with information such as a list of downloadable files, page
thumbnails and a word count for the destination page on the right
side. If the link goes to a download, the pop-up will show the file
name, size, date and MIME type.
Interclue offers a handy first-use tutorial that you can access by
clicking one of four icons it adds to the lower-right corner of
your browser (the others are to enable or disable the addon, view
statistics, or change options). It has a smart approach to setting
addon preferences, where a basic tab asks a few straightforward
questions about your preferences, computer resources and Internet
connection and changes settings accordingly, and an advanced tab
that provides access to a huge array of customization options.
By default, Interclue will gather and submit anonymous features
usage data back to the developers, though it won't track pages you
visit or gather personal information. You can disable the option if
you want.
Note: The download link takes you to the vendor's add-on
page, where you can automatically install the file into Firefox.
