What is AutoCopy?
'AutoCopy' is a Firefox add-on designed to enhance the text selection process.

This streamlines your workflow by eliminating the need for manual copy commands. AutoCopy can also enable middle click pasting. The simple, yet effective add-on aims to make text manipulation faster and more efficient in daily browsing.
