Hi Venator, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! Just to clarify, Copy Link Text does work on Android—it’s actually built with mobile in mind. Since Firefox Mobile doesn’t allow extensions to add items directly to the context menu, the extension uses a different approach:

You can enable Copy Mode from the extension’s menu.

When active, you’ll see the extension icon in the bottom-left corner of your screen.

While Copy Mode is on, simply tap any link and its visible text will be copied instantly.

To exit, just tap the icon again to turn off Copy Mode.


I hope this clears things up! If you run into any issues, feel free to open a ticket on GitHub—I’d be happy to help troubleshoot.

Спасибо большое, очень рад, что расширение оказалось полезным! 😊 Мы старались сделать его максимально простым и удобным.

Hi Dan, thank you so much! I’m glad to hear that Copy Link Text worked reliably for you. The goal has always been to keep it lightweight and consistent across websites—your feedback means a lot!

Thank you for your feedback! I understand that the process may feel a bit awkward, but unfortunately, this workflow is necessary due to limitations in Firefox for Android. Currently, Firefox does not provide a built-in way to select text from links, which is why I created this extension—I needed this functionality myself.

At the moment, this is the only working extension for copying link text on Firefox mobile. To make it a little easier, you can quickly disable copy mode by simply tapping the extension icon in the bottom right after copying the text.

I truly appreciate your support and feedback, and I hope the extension continues to be helpful!

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and share your experience with the "Copy Link Text" extension. I truly appreciate your feedback!

I completely understand how it might feel a bit fiddly to use on Android. Due to the limitations of browser APIs, it's not possible to directly modify the context menu or the long-press menu on mobile devices. This is why I designed the extension to function as it does, prioritizing reliability while working within those constraints.

As for the Firefox Add-ons site, you're absolutely right—it doesn’t work there. This is because Mozilla restricts extensions from modifying or interacting with their own add-ons page for security reasons. These restrictions are in place to protect users, ensuring no extensions can interfere with or alter the Firefox Add-ons site.

Rest assured, the extension is fully safe to use. It's a tool I built for my own everyday use, so I’m confident in its functionality and security. Additionally, extensions need to meet certain criteria and earn a solid reputation before achieving verified status, and I’m actively working towards that goal.

Looking ahead, I’m planning future updates to make the extension even more useful and user-friendly, especially for mobile users like yourself. Your input is incredibly valuable as I continue improving it, and I hope you’ll stick around to see the upcoming enhancements!

Thank you again for your feedback and for using the extension!
