Add Paste and Go Feature to Firefox

[anandk]

1 of the many great features in Opera is the way it loads a site automatically when you paste the URL into the address box. *smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/r/winknudge.gif

The same applies to search, just paste the search term and the search runs automatically without the need to hit "Enter" or the Search button.

Paste and Go is a Firefox extension that gives you similar functionality in Firefox. It's not quite as elegant as the Opera implementation in that u need to use Shift Ctrl V to paste and go rather than just Ctrl V but, nonetheless, it will save you time every day.

thnx for sharing it buddy.

I want one extension for firefox, which can do as following:

Suppose I select a sentence or group of sentences and when I right-click on it after selecting the text, I get an option to open it in a new tab or something like that. Is there any extension available for this task?

PS: It should be posted in Reviews section.

Can you explain it a little more and your purpose behind this functionality? That will help us in searching more properly.

eddie there's such a feature called 'Go To URL' in opera. You can select a bunch of text, right click on it and press go to url. Comes in handy when the url isn't shown as a link. Consider foo.bar.com now this won't be automatically highlighted as url, you will have to copy/paste it into the location bar. Say, you are reading some .txt page on your browser and stumble upon a link, you can right away highlight that link, right click and click 'Go to url'
