- Rated 3 out of 5by Adore33, a month agoPlease update this add-on to support the new "API" changes from TinyURL. Their previous "API" has been deprecated as of September 2025. You can find more information on TinyURL's official blog regarding this issue, as I'm unable to provide links here. Currently, many links generated using this add-on redirect to a TinyURL page that requires a 10-second wait before the direct link loads. Thank you!
Edit: To Developer... You are welcome, let me know if I can provide anymore information regarding this.Developer response
posted a month agoThank you for letting me know. I'll look into it as soon as possible. I switched the shortening service to is.gd in the options a long time ago so didn't realize that there was a change to the tinyurl API, so thank you again for letting me know. - Rated 5 out of 5by Art_Vandelay, 9 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Black🏴☠️Sails, 5 years agoIt should have an option to automatically create tiny url from the clipboard, rather than the page you're looking at.
and I think the option to display notification should be enabled by defaultDeveloper response
posted 5 years agoThank you for the suggestions. I will enable the display notifications by default in the next version.
The current version supports creating a TinyURL from the clipboard using an option in the add-ons menu. Can you provide more information on how you would like this to work? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13912686, 5 years agoSimple, fast, easy. Does what it says - instantly creates a short URL of your currently active tab by clicking on the toolbar icon & puts it on the clipboard ready for pasting where you want.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12193918, 5 years agoThe TinyUrl service routes through VigLink (an advertising/tracking company) that sets tracking cookies.
I reported it to the developer, and on the same day he added support for another shortener (is.gd)Developer response
posted 5 years agoThe add-in has been updated to work with is.gd as well, so you don't need to use the service provided by tinyurl.com if you choose not to. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12475774, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Michael Woffenden, 6 years agoVery convenient and simple and the popup notification option is excellent!
I'd love to see these options:
- redirect to the TinyURL site
- ability to create a custom TinyURLDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoThank you for the feedback. I added the redirect option to version 2019.9.27.22. I looked into adding the alias too, but the TinyURL.com API doesn't support it, so I need to write a bit more code to create it using a different method (pulling it from their website directly, and some kind of interface to let you enter the name). It's going to be added, but it's going to take a little while.
Edit: I decided not to support the custom alias function until the TinyURL.com API support it. Using their website, then scraping it to pull the info programmatically seems wrong and would cause issues if the page layout changed. While this is still on my list, it's being put aside until proper support is available.
