Did you ever receive a email with a link that breaks the line and uses two lines to be displayed ? It is not possible to just left-click the link to visit the website because the link is cut off after the first line. The website can’t be displayed. This happens often in mails that require a confirmation after a forum registration for instance.

You can right-click the link with Auto Copy installed and choose to open it in a new tab. Auto Copy opens the complete link which is simply put a great time safer. This is of course just one feature of Auto Copy. Another one which is especially helpful for webmasters that run blogs is that it “auto copies” marked text to the clipboard and lets you paste it again by using the middle mouse button.

Auto Copy offers some additional features such as accessing previous clipboard entries, paste marked text to the search bar or location bar and search for an entry directly. This is one of the few extensions that every webmaster should have installed.

Mark a text area, hit CTRL + C or right click and select copy to copy that text area to the clipboard. I´am lazy I know but I was always looking for a faster way to copy a text area. The firefox extension Auto Copy is the answer to my prayers. It auto copies, hence the name, every marked text automatically to the clipboard.

Works with latest firefox, mozilla and thunderbird.
