Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 236336

(Firefox :: Menus, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; it-IT; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Sometimes URLs are written in the text of a page but they are not links. So,
when I select an URL (or any portion of text?) and right-click it, I would like
to have a new option in the context-menu. Something like "Open URL" (like in
Opera). So I don't have to copy the URL and paste it in the URLs bar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




Maybe it would be easy to implement it as an extension, but I didn't found an
extension like that.

That's available in 'Linkification'
<https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Navigation&numpg=10&id=190>,
and in 'Fetch Text URL'
<https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Navigation&numpg=10&id=518>

This is already available in numerous extensions and hence, I am marking it as
INVALID
