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!
