Display all Links of a Website

Posted on November 24th, 2007

Many users are insecure whether a website that they are currently visiting is the real deal or a fake copy of it. Phishing is a threat that most users take lightly or do not even know about. The Page Info window of Firefox details all links of a website which can be a great asset in determining if the site is the original or a copy.

Right-click on any website and select Page Info from the menu. Now click on the Links tab in the new window that just opened. You see a list of all links on that website. It is then possible to look at the specific link that you want to click and see if it really leads to the destination you think it will lead.

Advanced users have other methods of finding this out but this is probably the easiest way for inexperienced users. The General tab can also be used to verify that you are indeed on the right website because it does display URL information.
