A url that is not linked on a website, like www.ghacks.net can not be clicked on to load the website. The user has to copy and paste the url into the address bar to load it which is highly uncomfortable. A way to get past this would be to install the Text Link extension for Firefox.
This extension converts any unlinked url into one that can be clicked as if it was a valid link. The only difference is that urls that have been converted by the Text Link extension have to be double-clicked to be loaded. It should also be noted that the Text Link extension does not modify the links in any way, it simply provides the double-click functionality.
This means, a non linked url will not be shown as a link in the usual form. This might be confusing at the beginning but it soon sorts itself out. Just double-click that url and it will be loaded just fine. The behavior can be changed in the options. By default a double-clicked url will be loaded in the same tab for instance which most users won’t like that much.
