When comparing two sources 

https://support.mozilla.com/it/kb/Sostituire%20i%20dati%20di%20Firefox%20Sync/compare?to=7408&from=7336

there is no easy way to save snippets of text from one version or another.
I think a way to copy/paste text (and even download the full source of either version) is needed.

Reproducible: Always

If we made the revision IDs on the compare page link to the revision pages, you could easily get to the source of either revision.

But it would mean another click and another page loading. 
If the two columns of the diffs could be copied separatedly, it would be far better.

I'll see what I can do.

So, just making those headings links is fine to me, but I thought I'd ask anyway
We could pretty easily add source information underneath, but what makes more sense?
* the source of each revision in 2 textareas side by side (seems most useful IMO)
* a plain text diff? (I don't see how that's useful)
* something else?

Closed with the minimal changes from comment 1.

Simone, if you find this unacceptable, you can reopen, or file a new bug, but I would talk to the SUMO team to see what they think as well (e.g. Kadir, David)

Verified revision ids are now links.
