Title-Link Copy: AP-style Casing & Hyperlink

Privacy-focused Firefox extension for Desktop and Android that creates perfect citations. Easily copy page Titles, Links, or rich text Hyperlinks with advanced formatting options, including AP-Style smart capitalization and selected text citation.

Browser Compatibility

✅ Fully Compatible with Firefox for Android and Firefox Desktop.
Unlike many clipboard extensions, Title-Link Copy is optimized for the mobile experience with a responsive popup designed for Android screens.
Desktop includes both context menus and toolbar icon with drop-down menu.

Features

🖱️ Smart Context Menu and/or Toolbar Icon (Desktop)

Right-click anywhere to access a clean, context-aware submenu:
* Title + Link: Copies Title/Link or Link Text/URL.
* Title only / Link only.
* Hyperlink: Copies as a clickable rich text link for Word, Docs, or Email.

Right-click on links for the same options.
Pin the icon to the toolbar for the same options.

📱 Responsive Popup (Android)

A clean, button-based interface via the Extensions menu:
* Quick-copy buttons for all formats.
* Embedded Settings: Configure AP-Style casing and text placement directly inside the popup.
* Auto-Save: Settings changes are saved instantly.

🧠 Advanced Formatting

• AP-Style Title Casing Option: Smart algorithm formats titles according to AP Stylebook guidelines—handling minor words, possessives, and internal capitals like "iPhone" or "YouTube".
• Selected Text Option: Highlight text before copying to include it automatically. Now features split placement options, allowing you to choose different locations for selected text in standard vs. hyperlink formats.

🔒 Privacy Focused

• Zero Data Collection: No tracking, no analytics, no data transmission.
• Minimal Permissions: This extension requests the absolute minimum required to function:
  • activeTab: To read the Title/Link only when you interact with the extension.
  • contextMenus: To add the "Title-Link Copy" items to your right-click menu.
  • clipboardWrite: To write formatted text or hyperlinks to your system clipboard.

Usage Guide

The Output Formats

2. Hyperlink Copy
Creates a dual-format entry:
