nonethefewerToday's little pile of Firefoxy awesome is Smart Link. Two things it does:
- Takes text and turns it into a link. As an example, do any Google search - there's the link that you can't copy (it turns into, despite the status bar's lies, a Google redirecty thing), then text, then the green text of the link. So you can highlight that, right-click, and open it in a background tab.
- More importantly to me: so, my email wraps text at 80 characters (I assume), which means that long URLs turn into a URL and a string of crap, both useless. I now can highlight both lines, right-click, and open it in a background tab.
Which meeeans I can tell you about the giant badgers that the British sent to harass the Iraqis now.
