One day back I written about a free firefox addon which can help you any text from a webpage without any formatting, thatâ€™s means you can copy text as plain text in firefox but as one of the reader commented that firefox addon supports the older version of firefox only, moreover it could be on no help if you are not coping the text from any other source than firefox.

It could happen many times when you try to copy any text selected on a webpage opened in firefox and when you paste the text in word document or any where else formatting remains so you undo the paste and copy the text in notepad and then copy again to the word document.

Copy Plain Text is a cool firefox addon which comes to rescue in this situation and adds a context menu entry in the right click menu in firefox as Copy as Plain Text
