What Is It?

A Firefox Add-on that automatically copies text in a Firefox window to the windows clipboard with many useful options.

Why Would You Want It?

Essentially Autocopy will save you having to click on selected text with your mouse and then choose Copy or using Ctl-C if you prefer to use the keyboard for copying and pasting. In a single instance this is a small saving of time, probably less than a second, but if you use copy and paste a lot then the small savings all add up. A really big advantage is if you use a clipboard extender to store multiple clipboard copies of text and images, such as Cipboard Magic, Clip Diary, Ditto or one of the several other freeware clipboard extenders available. When you use a clipboard extender you can copy multiple selections of text to use in another document without having to keep switching back and forth on each copy/paste cycle. I find this very useful when I am researching for ProReviewer or work and want to collect multiple pieces of information and then use them as background information rather than a straight copy and paste into a document.
