It is difficult to extract URLs, as "Copy shortcut" dropdown has not
keyboard shortcut.
Firefox - right click | C
MSIE - right click | navigate | mouse click.
My WN work involves hosts of URL copying, and this saves a *lot* of time.
Marcel - what are "mouse gestures"?
Firefox has a host of essential user written extensions.
I could not do my WN work without "Web Developer" extensions.
