Copy URL from tab

A tiny Firefox extension that removes one annoying step from copying URLS from open tabs.

Copy URL from Tab is my first Firefox extension. It adds a `Copy Tab URL` option to the tab context menu so a tab's address can be copied instantly with a right-click instead of extra clicks, selecting, and copying from the address bar.

What It Does

The extension adds a single focused action to the Firefox tab context menu: `Copy Tab URL`. Right-click a tab, choose the command, and the URL is copied to the clipboard immediately. It is meant to feel invisible until needed, then save time every time it is used.

Why I Built It

This project came out of a small but repeated friction point. Copying a tab URL usually means switching focus to the page, clicking the address bar, selecting the text, and copying it. I wanted a cleaner path that matched how often tabs are already the object I am working with.

Extension Notes

Simple Interaction

The entire feature is exposed through the tab's right-click menu, which keeps the workflow discoverable and close to where the action actually happens.

Low Friction

The goal was a tiny utility that does one thing clearly instead of becoming an oversized productivity suite with too many options.

Privacy Focused

The Mozilla listing describes it as privacy focused, with no data collection or transmission and zero configuration after installation.

First Extension

As my first Firefox extension, it also marks an early browser tooling project and a practical step into building small utilities for everyday workflows.
