We quote from the Mozilla.org Firefox Add-ons webiste page about UrlbarExt:

"UrlbarExt Extends Location Bar with set of icons to

ReadWriteWeb also refers to their article about TinyURL and better alternatives
so we tried those which are included in the UrlbarExt referred to above, shrinking the LawPundit URL as a test case:
