Hi all, I have the latest version downloaded a couple of days ago for my galaxy phone. I am trying to find a way of viewing a webpage link before opening it, so I can check it's not some obvious scam. Most mobile browsers I can just long press a link and along with a context menu, the actual url will show up. In FF for android, instead of a link I just see the title of the webpage. How can I view the link before opening it?

Thanks Jon

If the link element has a title parameter (<a href="support.mozilla. org" title="SUMO">here xxxxx</a>), you will see the title on long press. Otherwise it's url address. There's no simple way to change it.

And I'm pretty sure that other browsers should act the same (but I don't know any other ;) ).
