Text Link
Allows URI texts written in webpages to be loaded by double clicks.
Text Link - Link Activation Firefox Add-on
'Text Link' is a Firefox add-on that enables the loading of URI texts written on webpages just by a double click. This extension eliminates the necessity of multiple steps to achieve the same. Instead of selecting, copying, pasting the text, and pressing 'Enter', or dragging and dropping the selection to the tab bar, a user can simply double click on the URI text and Firefox will load it automatically.

User reviews
This add-on caused Google and other sites to stop responding for long periods of time.
For example, when performing a search, it would take about 10 seconds to respond.
I also had to wait several seconds when posting to social media.
I don't know the details, but disabling this add-on solved the problem.
