Details

Steps to reproduce:

When selecting one or multiple tabs, it's not possible to copy URLs though right click or ctrl+C.

Actual results:

The menu context does offer this option and ctrl+c is ignored.

Expected results:

The tab(s) url(s) should be available through the clipboard.
This would allow to copy out sets of tabs out of firefox.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Tabbed Browser' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Tabbed Browser

I don't think adding CTRL+C would be a good idea. First because it's unclear if user expectation when copying tabs is to get a list of URLs, second because sometimes it would not work, specifically when content is focused, and many users would not be able to discern a pattern.

To copy a single URL there is a Share > Copy Link option in the context menu. It doesn't work for multiple selected tabs though.
That seems to be bug 1698558, though the comments there say the OS APIs don't allow to share more than 1 url, so it's possible the menuitem may end up being hidden on multiple selected tabs, not fixing this copy multiple URLs request.

Thus I'll transform this bug to cover the Copy multiple URLs case, in case bug 1698558 decides it can't support multiple URLs for the other share options.
