Copy PlainText

On some occasions, it's annoying to copy a formatted paragraph from a website or document and paste it unformatted. Copy PlainText is a tiny Firefox extension that deletes the formatting of a text so that users can paste it unformatted without any additional steps.

The application installs in the background so that you won't see it in the browser toolbar like the other extensions. However, when you select a paragraph and right-click it, you will notice the presence of the app. It is the last entry in the menu, and it reads Copy PlainText. Once you click it, the text will be copied to the clipboard, and you can paste in unformatted into a new document. The app is as simple as that and doesn't require much to work. It is only a copy-paste aid that makes your work much faster. It's designed for users who don't have the option to "paste as plain text." For instance, in Mozilla Firefox, this option is not available in the context menu, while in Google Chrome, users can paste unformatted text. Some document editors are in the same situation as Firefox, so Copy PlainText is a handy tool.

The Copy PlainText extension for Firefox also has a settings menu. To access it, you should go to the browser's add-on manager, open the app, and select Options from the three-dotted icon from the right. Once there, you can choose to remove the line indent between text lines. This setting is particularly useful when you copy multiple paragraphs at once. Also, you can select keyboard shortcuts for the extension to speed up your work even more. Copy PlainText is, therefore, a quite useful Firefox extension, and it works without any errors.
