Here's a Firefox addon that converts text links into clickable links on any webpage

I installed it, but I don't quite understand, what does it do?

There are sites that don't linkify raw text adresses (you have copy-paste the address to get there). The addon fixes that
by transforming into a link any text that starts with http, www, etc.

Try to disable the addon (you can do it form "Add-ons" in the Tools menu) and restart Firefox. Go here:

You'll notice the link in Mikes post is plain text. Enable the addon and reload the page.

Cool, don't use firefox all the time, but it still looks cool.
