Was nice, but the latest update requires a new permission to access "all_urls" which is very wide open. The author gives a reason, but to me that reason isn't good enough and I would like to be able to disable that functionality and not grant that one permission. I can't do that.

The source code does not appear to be open source (I can't find it) so am not able to trust the author with that much information.

The source code is open source and inspectable by downloading and opening the xpi (zip). The permission was added due to users' report of failing to get text in iframes. Once the Firefox bug is fixed, the extra permission will be removed.
Users can continue using v1.13 if they are not content with the extra permission.
Pleas note that recommended addons are thoroughly checked by Mozilla to ensure users' security and privacy.

Context menu is cumbersome. However, the Tutakstenkürzel F7 does not work. F7 is occupied in Firefox under Windows for Caret Browsing.
Better take "copy plain text we", this uses F8 that works.

Please read the manual. Keyboard shortcut can be set by the user.
