Here is another simple yet handy plugin for Firefox, named ‘de-t-co‘. This free Firefox plugin automatically converts t.co links to original links.
I’m pretty sure that you guys are well aware about the fact that Twitter automatically converts long URLs to short URLs using its t.co service shared on Twitter. This can create trouble when you have to use the original link. It is so because copying the URL using right-click context menu option or by hotkey will copy t.co URL only. To share or use the original URL, you first need to open the t.co URL and then you will be able to get the original URL. To ease this situation, you can use this handy plugin.
Whenever you will copy the t.co URL, it will actually copy the original URL which you can share with friends via email or any other sources.
In the above screen recording, you can see what happens before and after using this Firefox add-on.
