A Firefox extension to send links via customizable context-menu-entries as GET requests (MAILTO is also supported)
I often want to forward links to different, most of the time self-hosted, services while browsing the web (for example, post a link of a YouTube video to my TV to watch it later). So I searched for an extension to handle this, found nothing, so I created this.
Install directly from AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/send-link
Or download the latest release (as .xpi
) and install it manually (not recommended, you will get no automatic updates)
It will add a context menu entry for each service you configure in the context menu of links - clicking such an entry will execute a GET request to the configured URL while replacing %%u
with the clicked URL, if the URL starts with http
(see below or the extension configuration page).
URLs starting with mailto
will be just opened - so probably your default mail program will compose a new mail.
URLs, separated by line break, %%u
is the placeholder for the clicked URL. Everything before a |
(pipe) will be used as the context menu label.
Example:
Entry1|https://example.com?url=%%u<br>
Entry2|https://example.com?url=%%u
Entry3|mailto:me@example.com?subject=Forwarded link&body=%%u
