Add feature to right click menu on a url/link to copy just the link's text - copy link text

[krmeadows]

I frequently have to copy the TEXT of a url/link, and currently I have to highlight the link, then use copy to get the text into the clipboard. It would be very useful, and I think simple to program, an additional choice to the right click menu on a url/link, the ability to just copy the text directly into the clipboard. Currently, there is a "copy link" but no "copy link text".

The fact that this feature is missing is genuinely one of the reasons I mainly use Chrome. If you want to copy a link's text, it's faster to just copy the url, go to chrome and then use the feature there than to fiddle around and try to get firefox to mark the text (which isn't even really possible in a lot of cases)

The fact that this feature is missing is one of the main reasons I still use Chrome.

If you want to copy a Link Text, it's faster to copy the url, go to chrome, and use the copy link text function there, than to try and fiddle around to get Firefox to select the text. (which isn't even possible in a lot of cases)

Add an option to copy link text

For reference, use this: Example Link!

With the copy link text feature, you can right-click (or long press on mobile) the link, press "Copy link text", and have this copied into your clipboard:

Example Link!

 Would especially be helpful on Firefox Mobile as it eases copying text on touch screen devices in some cases.

Copy text link

Since you guys like the "copy image in clipboard" idea, I'm here to shoot my shot and ask if there's any chance to implement the Copy text link option.

I find very useful when I have to copy a text which is also a link, but I don't need to copy the URL, but just the text.

So, where to put like/kudos to make it happen?

Request: Copying Link Text in Firefox Mobile

Hey Mozilla Community!

I have a request regarding Firefox Mobile. Currently, it lacks the ability to copy the associated text along with the URL when copying a link. This feature was available in Brave browser and proved to be incredibly useful.

Adding the option to copy link text in Firefox Mobile would greatly enhance its usability. It would allow users to easily share specific information from links, making the browsing experience more convenient.

I wanted to reach out to the community and inquire if there are any plans to implement this feature. If not, I kindly request its consideration as an enhancement. It would be a valuable addition for many Firefox Mobile users.

Thank you for your attention. I appreciate any feedback or support from the community regarding this feature request.

Copy link text

An option in the context menu when you click on a link to copy the text from it. This is also available in some other browsers and I really miss it in Firefox.

for example:

I appreciate the Mozilla mobile for Android development work, but this is definitely is a needed menu item when your trying to copy invoice or order numbers, such a basic requirement so needs implementation sooner rather than later Devs. Thsnks
