Copy Selected Links

Right-click selected text to copy the URL of any links it contains.

Copy Selected Links Add-on

The Copy Selected Links Firefox add-on allows users to quickly copy URLs from selected text containing links. With a simple right-click on the selection, you can instantly copy the links or open them in new tabs. Although this add-on is no longer maintained, it remains available for download while the store allows. This tool is also available for Chrome, making it a versatile option for managing links across browsers.

Functionality Overview

  • Right-click selected text to copy all contained URLs.
  • Open links in new tabs directly from the context menu.
  • Includes useful functionality for selecting additional links.

With the diminishing support for this add-on, the source code is available for forking on GitLab, and potential future works may be posted on GreasyFork. Please consider providing feedback to enhance this tool's utility, and for any issues, reach out through the support site.

This works great! Such a shame this isn't a standard feature in Firefox.
