When mouse is hovered over link, url shown is not always the true url
I'm using version 4.0. I noticed that the url shown when you hover over a link is not always the true url, this is annoying as I want to see when I'm thinking of going before I go there. I don't want the true destination to be hidden. Is there an easy way to see the real destination of a link before clicking on it?

You can look at this extension:
- Redirect Remover: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/537
It is also possible that an onclick attribute is used to open the link and not the href that is displayed as a pop-up at the bottom of the window.

Can you provide an example? I haven't seen this behavior myself, though of course it's always possible the site you're seeing it on is using redirects to point one url to another, or that people may be using url-shorteners like bit.ly or tinyurl.

Hi, the google search results is one example, the hover displays the url of the search result, but the real url is back into google.com
That is to make it possible to do a phishing detection check before sending you to the link.
