- Freezes tab then trying to edit issue description.

- Until Jira gets off their butts and actually follows web standards of handling external links, this extension is so simple and solves the issue perfectly. It's a must have for Jira users.
- Cooper Fellows
- So far so good, one day in and this has dramatically improved my workflow. Still can't believe Jira doesn't support this natively.
- Bert Verhelst
- Works perfectly, no setup needed at all
- Asfand Qazi
- Unlike the most popular extension, this one actually WORKS. Brilliant.
- Aaron Hall
- Why this isn't built into Jira is beyond me... but this does exactly what I need it to do!
