1953575 - Inject a "copy link item" to sharing menu in Frontend code for macOS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Sarah Clements [:sclements]]

Since it seems the work to fix this at the API level is complex and a low priority, we could add this ourselves.

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: Missing share item that's been requested repeatedly, functionality on Linux that was previously macOS/Windows only
[Affects Firefox for Android]: No
[Suggested wording]: On macOS and Linux you can now copy links for background tabs using the tabstrip context menu. (This was already possible on Windows 10 and later from the native "Share" functionality.)
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: N/A
