environment:• firefox v34.0.5
• adblock-plus v2.6.6
• clean-links v2.6.1.0
objective:to copy a 'clean' link … for pasting into browser, email, bookmark, forums, blogs, or favorites.
inclusions:have attached screen-shots for reference purposes:
• one image showing typical webpage (with clean-link interface visible)
• one image showing default parameters of clean-link addon
summary:using firefox browser, am viewing the contents at www.gizmag.com/cellscope-oto-home-smartphone-otoscope/35245/ … toward bottom of page is a link going to another webpage of interest to me.
when hovering mouse-cursor in front of link, url appears in status-bar:
http://www.interesticle.com/featured/7-best-smartphones-your-money-can-buy/
right-clicking mouse further 'obfuscates' url as:

if i would simply left-click the link,
paid.outbrain.com would be summoned for tracking and whatever … eventually landing at the desired url of
http://www.interesticle.com/featured/7-best-smartphones-your-money-can-buy/conclusion:i have not figured out how the
clean-link addon would function.
how does the link appear in the
cl-original or
cl-cleaned panel?
• simply loading the webpage at www.gizmag.com itemizes nothing in the panel
• right-clicking mouse yields no options for clean-list
• left-clicking mouse serves only to summon paid.outbrain.com into action
• configuring copy-link controller seems to have no effect
