Here's a great extension I found that works well for browsing forums, and previewing results from search engines:

Thanks for the cool extension. I like it. I had my doubts in the beginning as I used to use an extension that displays the actual web address. It would immediately display every link and become annoying as it would always cover something that I wanted to read. Since I like to read used my pointer, I would always have to be more aware of where the pointer was. I since uninstalled it.

There seems to be a delay before the pop-up, that may be more to my liking as compared to the previous extension I used.

Yes there is a delay. I think because its basically loading a web page with thin itself. Everything on the pop-up window is fully accessible

So how does this work for a forum like DC? If I put the cursor over the thread title does it show a window with all the posts to that thread?

I went to the author's home page and they have an interactive demo of this extension. You can use it without actually down loading it. Here is the link.

I made this thread because I was thrilled it worked in forums.

After you install this extension and restart FireFox. enter this website and you souls see a little orange circle with a line through it above your Windows clock. Click on until it changes to a check mark. You do have to make sure you check this every time you visit a site. Its worth it.

How does it work for the forums? Does it display all the posts in the thread if you put the cursor over the thread title?

The demo I linked to seems really cool. I didn't see any demo for the forums though.
