CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This simple, but straightforward, Firefox add-on lets you copy any text format while browsing the Web and paste it as plain text. It worked for us without a hitch.
You'll find Copy Plain Text in your add-ons menu. There, the options menu lets you format the copied text, including trimming space around the text, and removing extra spaces and lines. The add-on operates through your context menu. We highlighted text on a Web page, including pictures and headlines, right-clicked, and selected the copy as the plain text option. When we pasted it into a MS Word document, the plain text appeared.
We appreciate this free add-on for its ease of use and reliable performance. It's a great tool to have on hand while browsing the Web.

Version: Copy Plain Text 0.3.3
Pros: I have 2 web sites that use a weird formatting and I like this better than paste special
Cons: It would be good if the pictures would be included but then it wouldn't be plain text

Version: Copy Plain Text 0.3.3
"Update needed for otherwise perfect add-on"
Pros: Absolutely first-class - simple and effecient. It should be built into Firefox!
Cons: The only thing detracting from a clean top score is that it needs upgrading to work wikth the latest Firefox version. I sorely miss the update!
Summary:
I surrender! It works perfectly on the lastest Firefox version. SO: a full rating from me. And my apologies.
