Mozilla Firefox - Plugins and Extensions

Copy the Webpage Title to the Clipboard

SUMMARY: For documentation purposes, copy the title of the current webpage to the clipboard for easy pasting into other applications.

For various reasons you might need to copy the title of the currently-viewed webpage in Mozilla Firefox to other applications such as a notepad or word processor. Perhaps you are documenting a web-based application and need to describe page titles as well as URLs accessed while using the application. Maybe you want to pass along website information to your friends, Twitter followers, or blog readers.

The following extension adds a "Copy Page Title" option when you right-click on a webpage in Firefox. This way you can paste the title into another application, easier than retyping the page title manually.


Note that most add-ons are from third party developers. Installation and use of add-ons are solely at your own risk.



1. Visit the following page from within Firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12733

2. Click the "Add to Firefox" button.

3. The "Software Installation" dialog box will eventually appear. Click "Install Now" as soon as the button is enabled.



Installing the Copy Title add-on



4. Once the add-on has installed, click the "Restart Firefox" button. Depending on your configuration, Firefox may note that it will try to restart your windows and tabs.

5. Once Firefox has restarted, to copy a page title, simply right-click inside a webpage and select "Copy Page Title". The page title is now in the clipboard and can be pasted into another application.


This tip was written for Mozilla Firefox v3.5 and Copy Title 1.1 on a Windows Vista machine. Screenshots, instructions, and features for other versions may vary.
