Copy as Hyperlink de John Navas

DEPRECATED in favor of my Title-Link Copy extension.

Copy as Hyperlink lets you quickly copy any selected link, or—if you select non-link text—copy the current tab as a rich hyperlink followed by your selected text. If nothing is selected, it copies the tab’s title and URL as a rich text hyperlink. Perfect for pasting into emails, documents, or any app that supports rich text. Works seamlessly on both Firefox Desktop and Android.

Features

  Copy Tab as Hyperlink: If nothing is selected, copy the current tab’s title and URL as a rich hyperlink.
  Copy Tab Hyperlink + Selected Text: If you select non-link text, copy the tab’s title and URL as a hyperlink, followed by your selected text.
• Rich Text & Plain Text:
