Topic: Request for Firefox extension

Something that allows me to "simulate" right click->save as with an URL that I have in the clipboard. How many times hasn't that happened to you? You have an URL in the clipboard and you need to save the destination to your harddrive. IMPOSSIBLE!

Re: Request for Firefox extension

I caved in and did it myself:

http://rickard.punbb.org/ff/clipboardsaveas-1.0.xpi

The extension adds a menu item to the Tools menu called "Save File from Clipboard". Just make sure the URL to the file you want to save is in the clipboard and then select that option in the menu.

It should appear on mozilla update if/when it gets approved.

How many times?

Well, not even once - but its a great thing that you went ahead and did it.
All I'm hoping for is some great punBB GreaseMonkey scripts to come out soon.

Re: Request for Firefox extension

It's a problem I've encountered a lot. For example, when someone posts a link to a movie clip on IRC.
