One little thing, though: the tooltip sometimes is a little bit off and it's overlapped by the window border. With links with a line break it also looks not right. Maybe the position should be relative to the mouse cursor instead of the URL.
Very cool... what about making it work in Thunderbird? I see more "tinyurl" stuff in mail than I do on the web.

Your FF Extension has a very, very nasty bug - it will write: script src="http://s.bit.ly/bitlypreview.js" /script [brackets removed to prevent it being js.] to the body field of a WordPress blog you are writing or editing and this will cause IE to refuse to render the page! Here's a movie of this bug in action: http://screencast.com/t/Zn7jGEzBO Details: http://www.47hats.com/?p=954

Just weighing in to second Bob Walsh -- this happened on my Blogspot blog too. IE users see a partial load of the blog page, then get an IE error message "Internet Explorer can't open the Internet site, Operation aborted". When they click OK on that message, they lose the page entirely. This will teach me not to download brand new Firefox extensions, I guess.

Bob, Martin, thanks for reporting. The newest version of the extension is fixed. You can get it at http://bit.ly/bitlyFirefox . I'll blog this release later today, but I wanted to give you guys a heads up.

Would love any feedback and help you could offer. Thanks!
We're still flagged as "experimental."
I'll have to check this out.

Reporting a possible bug: This doesn't seem to work on all sites. So far, the tooltip has failed to display for me on http://www.rememberthemilk.com and http://www.netvibes.com.
