Copy As Plain Text

Easily copy the selected text without formatting to the clipboard via right-click menu.

Copy As Plain Text

Copy As Plain Text is a lightweight Firefox add-on that simplifies copying text without any formatting. Just select the desired text on a webpage, right-click to access the context menu, and choose 'Copy as plain text'. This ensures that only the text is copied to your clipboard without any styles or formatting.

In addition to the right-click option, users can also utilize a toolbar button for added convenience. Pasting is as simple as pressing (Ctrl + V) or selecting 'Paste' from the context menu. For any bugs or issues, users are encouraged to fill out a bug report form available on the add-on's homepage.

This is an OKAY extension, quite a bit old. Good thing is there are better alternatives now. "CopyIn2Clicks" being one of them!
