Copy and paste is wearily; especially you often need to dislodge some redundancy HTML codes when copying. What you need is to quicken the copy speed and reduce the unnecessary steps during copy, which is the reason why you must have these Firefox add-ons or extensions listed below. Of course, the precondition is you use Firefox browser. Some of the add-ons may not be compatible with the latest version of Firefox and you can only downgrade your Firefox if you really need it.

Copy As HTML Link

It creates a link to the current page when you are copying the text.

AutoCopy

Colt can be regarded as enhanced edition of Copy Link Text and Copy as HTML Link. CoLT can not only copy the link’s text but also both the link and the link’s text. The copied text can be in BB Code or Wiki format or you can specify the format through the User-defined Format of CoLT

Its feature is that if there is a URL in the clipboard, it allows us to switch to that website directly by only one action instead of pasting on the address bar and then click Go. It works for search too. However, it has a fault that it doesn’t work when you copy via CTRL+C shortcut.

Extended Copy Menu’

It offers options to copy the selected field as plain text or HTML by adding “Copy As Plain Text” and “Copy as HTML” to the context menu. But it needs updating too.
