Firefox SearchStatus 1.20 - No Follow Link Tool

I downloaded the updated version of Firefox's extension SearchStatus 1.20 today. This version has a no follow highlighter which comes in handy. You turn on the no follow highlighter by right clicking the symbol next to the SearchStatus toolbar at the bottom of your web page and check it. Once the no follow is checked when you visit a page you can see which links are no follow links. Should be helpful for link builders. It also includes a keyword highlighter, number of indexed pages, meta tags source code and more:

*While working with the SearchStatus tool I've noticed some buggy behavior, some of the no follows highlighted are showing false positives. Be aware of this in any case, in my situation it could be my use of multiple toolbars causing the problem, hard to say.
