How do I add "Properties" into the right-click menu for hyperlinks, as it was in Firefox 3.0?

When using Firefox in full screen mode, the status bar at the bottom of the windowed mode is not available to show where a hyperlink leads. In version 3.0, I got around this limitation by right-clicking on the hyperlink and selecting "Properties" from the menu, which would bring up a small window showing some attributes of the hyperlink, including its destination. This option is not in version 3.6, as far as I can tell, and I even tried perusing about:config to see if it was something that could be enabled in there. Can this be done at all? If so, how?

In Firefox 3.6 Properties has been removed from the right click context menu.

You can use View Image Info or View Page Info in the right click context menu to see image properties.

You can look at these extensions:
