262148 - "Use selected text as URI" in context menu (extension to "Search web for ",,,")

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 10080

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040830

This would be a nice extension. Some sites provide external links in plain text
format (not clickable, because of legal issues, e.g. in Germany). So you have to
mark, copy and paste this link into the address bar. Very annoying.

It would be a nice to have feature when you could select a certain text, right
click on it and select "Use selected text as URI", so Moz copies the selection
into the address bar and opens the page.

Yes, indeed.

Would be a pretty nice feature without the need to install an extension.
