8 Ways to Open Text as a Link

Posted: October 17, 2008 | Filed Under Add-ons, Best of Firefox

Turn Text to Links in Firefox One of those pesky things that bug me is when somebody writes a link in that I want to click, but there is no HTML code included to make it into a click-able link.  Thankfully several add-ons for Firefox have figured out how to turn URLs and e-mail addresses not marked up as a link into things I can click on.

There are eight add-ons for Firefox that do this job very well.  The only problem is that there is not that much difference between them.

Know of a number nine I might have missed?  I wouldn’t be surprised.  This seems like a very popular idea to do for a Firefox extension for some reason.  Since today is my birthday, just consider these eight gems your present from me.

    I use also Linkification. Without the automatic link converter because I've got the feeling that this increases the rendering time. I've adjusted the extension so that I just have to _double_ click on the link. That's it :)
    In my opinion easier than selecting an url und doing some rightclicking stuff.

    Well... the easiest is not to install any add-on, just select the text and drag-and-drop it to the tab bar at the end for a new tab with the URL (or to the current tab if you prefer).
