About
This extension for Firefox provides a way to add typable tags to hyperlinks on webpages. This can be useful for instance in forum pages where a lot of links have the same name, or links that only have images and no text. Installing the plugin should turn on accessibility.typeaheadfind and accessibility.typeaheadfind.linksonly. If it doesn't, or you want to turn it off again, go to about:config. You can then also use / to start a search.
Usage
After you have installed it, you get an extra icon in your status bar. You can either click on it, select 'Tag Links' in the context or tools menu, or press Alt-L, and Linktag will be activated. While it is on, the current page and all new pages will have their links expanded with a tag that looks like: [l12]. The number starts with 1 and just counts up at every link. This way, all links get a unique tag that you can type on your keyboard, thus expanding the use of firefoxes accessibility.typeaheadfind. The feature can be turned off again the same way as it is turned on.
If you select preferences in the extensions menu, you can change the pre- and postfix of the tag (default "[l" and "] "), and turn of the menu items and statusbar icon. Of course, it also shows in about:config, under extensions.linktag.
