About:
The extension is useful if you too sometimes encounter on IMDb (or other sites), a movie title or an actor that you can't recognize by name. Instead of going into its full details page, you can now just stand on the link, and quickly see a preview of the poster right next to your mouse.
- The movies preview includes: poster, title, rating, number of votes, top 250 rank, cast members, plot.
- The persons preview includes: poster, name, birth year, birth country, latest movies, mini biography.
- The fields are shown only if exist.
- Unwanted fields can be disabled.
- Clicking the poster hides all the information fields.
- The preview works from any site, as long as the link points to a valid IMDb page.
- Preview's show & hide times are changeable.
- You can determine how many actors/films will be in the preview.
- Preview's background color is now also changeable.
- New - MyMovies integrated to IMDb's movie pages.

Description:
Hi, this is my 2nd extension.
It previews IMDb posters of movie titles, when you hover over a link that leads to an IMDb title page.
The idea is that when you are viewing long lists (search results, "my movies") of movies on the IMDb site, you don't always recognize the movie by its title. You usually go into that page to see the poster to help you recognize the movie. So, instead of entering each one you can now preview the poster.
That's the basic and main idea why I needed the extension. But I'll probably add more information to the preview (ratings, plot, etc), for those of you (incl. my brother) who will appreciate viewing such info, when browsing other sites who link to a movie on IMDb.
Release Notes:
I wanted to see what do u think about the idea, while I'm fine tuning things for a 0.1 release. Please note that this is only an alpha release. It's not "pretty" yet, it just do what it says it does, everything is still hard coded. Consider it proof of concept.
Please post what do u think about it. Feel free to suggest things for v0.1, even if I'm probably already working on them.
Thank you.
