This is one of many extensions available for the Firefox browser. Extensions extend the versatilty of the FF browser (go figure). If you’re looking for more extensions check here.

By dafualt hitting the spacebar will toggle the link numbers (I changed that key to “.” button).
You could also implement accesskey using HTML to use alt-whatever shortcuts.
wow i so love this extenstion!

Wow. Who knew that by simply typing in a “,” I could activate approval code for running hidden HTML code. LOL. Can you say “spyware, spamware, addware, remove pc control, remove network installation, and remote access.” You just did – 5 times (plus the original one in quotes) Enjoy.
