Text Link
Allows URI texts written in webpages to be loaded by double clicks.
What is Text Link?
'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.
