Some additional notes & hints

User reviews

Works great for my use case - copying the URL of the current tab using a keyboard shortcut! To do this, go to Add-ons -> gear (upper right) -> Manage Extension Shortcuts, then set keyboard shortcut for "Selected Tabs as Links" (I suggest the one without the scissors to avoid removing important query parameters from URLs). It can also copy all tabs as links, which I'm sure will come in handy down the road when sharing lots of links at once.
