Never heard of any exercise being refered to as a french press. Is it similar to an overhead extension like this:

Sort of, it is normally the two arm version done either lying, (also know as skull crushers, ), or seated and overhead, (my favourite), with a curl bar most often.

One of the best thing for triceps, but some find them hard on the elbows.

That looks like something I will try. My triceps are weak.
Is it possible that trouble with the elbows is from incorrect form or warm-up?

I do have a left elbow that twinges sometimes. Should I do a different tricept movement?

How can I make sure I don't hurt my elbows with this move?

A warm up is a good starting point, I always train triceps after chest, so they are pretty warm anyway.

It is normally a tendon issue that causes people pain, I seem to have semi decent elbow tendons, but poor knee ones.

So I can do reps with 100kg on OH French Press, but cant do leg press at all with out it killing my knees.

Some exercises suit some better than others, but I think most people should be able to do some variation of a French press.

Try doing dips, or Close grip bench 1st, to warm up and pre exhust, then finish off with the extentions.
