Roman Sharp send in a link to the Firefox extension Launch Clipboard. The experimental add-on can launch multiple urls in Firefox that have been copied to the clipboard before. It differentiates between text links and html links and provides access to two keyboard shortcuts and entries in the right-click context menu to load those urls.

Using the keyboard shortcuts poses the fastest way of loading the urls in Firefox because the keyboard shortcut works everywhere. The context menu entries are only available when right-clicking the Firefox location bar which slows down that process quite a bit.

The extension identifies links properly that begin with http, ttp and h**p. It is furthermore possible to enable support for urls without protocol and multi-byte character strings in the extension’s options. There is however no way to add support for additional obfuscated links, for example links beginning with hxxp. That limits the usefulness for users who stumble upon links regularly that do not use a supported link scheme. The extension is also able to identify html links beginning with “a href” properly.

It would be really helpful if the author would get rid of the protocol limitations and add support for all kinds of protocol mistypes.
