Okay. Well, then, here's an enhancement suggestion. :-)
There's no easy way to get the current location into the clipboard.
Under Netscape, there was a location-bar thingy which I could highlight
and copy (using whatever copy'n'paste method I needed). Or I could pull up
"view page info" and get some selectable text.
With moz 0.9, the "view page info" text isn't selectable with the mouse.
(Maybe that's just a Linux/X11 thing; we don't have a copy for any other
platform.)
There's no location bar at all, so I can't even tell where I am without
some mouse operations (that in itself isn't a problem), let alone copy
the text out. That little textbar on the "navigation bar" doesn't seem
to have a use, maybe that's just unfinished code.
Doing a right-click and getting Properties gives an /active/ link, but it
isn't selectable, and trying to right-click on the link for a "copy link
location" operation doesn't pop up a menu; it just follows the link to
where I already am.
Right now if I want to get the current URL into the clipboard, I have to go
back a page, find the link that led me there (if there is one, and not some
button/form), do a "copy link location" on it, and then go forward. Ugly.
Thanks again for your time,
Phil
