About this extension
Copy as Hyperlink lets you quickly copy any selected link, or—if you select non-link text—copy the current tab as a rich hyperlink followed by your selected text. If nothing is selected, it copies the tab’s title and URL as a rich text hyperlink. Perfect for pasting into emails, documents, or any app that supports rich text. Works seamlessly on both Firefox Desktop and Android.

Features
  • Smart Copy Logic:
    Copy Selected Link: Instantly copy any link you select as a rich, clickable hyperlink.
    Copy Tab as Hyperlink: If nothing is selected, copy the current tab’s title and URL as a rich hyperlink.
    Copy Tab Hyperlink + Selected Text: If you select non-link text, copy the tab’s title and URL as a hyperlink, followed by your selected text.
  • Rich Text & Plain Text:
    Pasted content appears as a hyperlink in rich text editors (like Gmail, Outlook, Google Docs), or just the URL in plain text editors.
  • Multiple Activation Methods:
