Firefox Extension for Bloggers
Sarah Perez on September 20th, 2005
If you’re a blogger like me, then you will often blog about something you’ve read on the net. Often, I will copy and paste a quote from someone, a proper name (so I don’t misspell it), a list of the features in a new software program, etc, etc. However, a direct copy-and-paste will copy the formatting as well (at least it does in Typepad) — the font, the size, the style, the color — all stuff I don’t need. That’s why I love this Firefox extension: Copy Plain Text. Now when you highlight text in Firefox and right-click it, you will see the option to "Copy Plain Text." Perfect! Not only that, but for the non-mousers, you can set the options to make this the default action for the "Ctrl + C" shortcut.

If only I used firefox. sounds like a cool extension. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I have been using it since it was first introduced and it has been a great tool.
A good companion extension is a copy of an Opera feature. Paste and Go. When you copy a link you can paste and go in the url bar instead of pasting then hitting enter.
