Wraps long links to spare you from having to scroll left and right. This is basically a very modded and severely hacked version of the bookmarklet code that's out there. Thanks goes out to Recall for waiting for me to release this.

The latest version 2.0 brings more options and easier ways to troubleshoot issues, for folks who don't want all the bells and whistles, the trimmed down version is available via Link Wrapper Lite which can be downloaded here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2547/
Here are some 2.0 features:
<li> Statusbar notification of: enabled, disabled, character limit reached or blacklisted sites
<li> Clicking statusbar icon will yield opposite of current setting, so you can effectively:
* turn wrapping off and only click it when you need it temporarily or
* leave it on and when you want to see a sight in long line mode just click it and it will display as-is temporarily or
* if enabled and you hit either the character limit or blacklist you can click it to temporarily allow link wrapping.
<li> Draggable statusbar icon to any position you want on the statusbar
<li> Option to hide statusbar icon and hide tools menu "options" menu item
<li> Full customization of all current hidden settings
<li> Full option dialog with all the bells and whistles, export, import, reset preferences
<li> Increased default character limit to 30k characters
Note: Link Wrapper will force Linkification to only highlight part of a text link, version 1.2.2 of Linkification adds a "Thorough Mode" which is disabled by default that will resolve this, or you can just double-click on the unhighlighted text on the right of the text from a link to have it open properly.
