Easily copy the text of any link on the page by activating the extension.

If you’ve ever used a mobile browser, you’re probably familiar with the convenience of tapping and holding a link to copy its text directly to your clipboard. But what about when you’re browsing on Firefox? Unfortunately, that feature hasn’t made its way to the mobile or desktop version—until now!

Copy Link Text brings this simple yet powerful functionality to Firefox. With just a click, you can instantly copy the visible text of any link on a webpage, rather than the URL. No more manually selecting the text or opening a link just to grab the title. This extension makes copying link text super easy, saving you time and effort, especially when you’re working on research, collecting resources, or organizing links.

Simply enable the feature, click on any link, and voilà! The text is copied straight to your clipboard. It's like the chromium experience, but for Firefox—finally!

Copy Link Text is fully open-source, does not collect or use any user data, and contains no ads.

NOTE: Why does this extension require the "Access your data for all websites" permission?

This extension uses a content_script to enable the functionality of copying link text directly from any webpage. The following configuration in the manifest.json file makes this possible:

"content_scripts": [
{
"matches": [
"http://*/*",
"https://*/*"
],
"js": [
"content.js"
]
}
]

This permission is required because the extension needs to inject a small script (content.js) into web pages you visit to enable its functionality. However, the extension does not actually collect, store, or transmit your data in any way. It simply listens for user actions (e.g., clicking the "Enable Copy Link Text" button) to toggle the feature on or off for the current page.

What this extension does NOT do:

-It does NOT collect or access any private information.
-It does NOT track your browsing history or behavior.
-It does NOT transmit any data to external servers.
The permission is simply a technical requirement for enabling the feature across all websites. Rest assured, your privacy is fully respected while using this extension.
