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.

Works great I use it a lot
drs23December 2, 2009
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
Summary
Update needed for otherwise perfect add-on
finken--2008February 20, 2009
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
<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Feb 20, 2009<p/>I surrender! It works perfectly on the lastest Firefox version. SO: a full rating from me. And my apologies.
plain text should be default
Denis HoweApril 5, 2005
Pros
Extremely useful for copying text to Outlook tasks and e-mail.
Cons
I wish plain text was the default (that you get with Ctrl-C) and rich was the option. <p>I hardly ever want rich text.
Summary
Does only one thing
gcasanovaMarch 5, 2005
Pros
But what it does, it does perfect. <p>I love this extension. It copies any text in plain text. <p>I use to copy text that may be in a different character encoding then the one I use and that, otherwise, if copied would result in a lot of garbage that has to be corrected.
Cons
No cons, really, no cons at all.
