Copy Selected Links: Firefox Add-on for Copying URLs

'Copy Selected Links' is a Firefox add-on devised to simplify the process of extracting URLs from selected text. By simply right-clicking on the selected portion containing links, users can instantly copy the URLs. Also, it facilitates opening these links in new tabs. The feature even works if you directly right-click on a link. Despite being no longer maintained, this add-on can still be downloaded and utilized. Its source code is also available for those who wish to fork it.

Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

This addon won't be maintained further. I'm shelving this project due to lack of interest/utility and too much burden. The addon will remain available for download as long as the store allows, and the source on gitlab will also remain available to fork. I do have a greasyfork account and may publish works there in the future. I have mild intentions to reimplement the core functionality of CSL, IBCP, and DID as public userscripts.

Available for Chrome too.

Functionality When you select text in a page and your selection contains links, you can right-click anywhere on the selection (or use a browser hotkey) to copy the URLs and/or texts of all those links at once, or open them in tabs.

Usage notes

  • right-clicking a link without having selected links will also show the context menu item. Clicking it will simply copy the URL of the link you right-clicked.
  • selecting links, then right-clicking another link and clicking the context menu item will copy the URLs of the links you selected and of the link you right-clicked
The Options screen will automatically open after add-on updates if they force a change to any of your settings.

Please rate/review/donate! :) A lot of time and work goes into creating my addons, and making changes or troubleshooting issues for users.
