Better formatting when pasting links in other applications

When pasting links into other programs, Firefox currently just serves up the raw URL. It would be nice if links could be copied and pasted more like Edge does, inserting a more readable hyperlink to the page in question.

For instance, the link to https://connect.mozilla.org is rendered as Home - Mozilla Connect when copied and pasted from Edge into other applications.

When you mark (aka. highlight) the link text then use `CTRL+C`  you can then use CTRL+V to insert the link in the format as you want.  At least if you paste into applications which support it.

Hope this info helps.
