When I am reading a blog and want to email a thread/subject/section's own link, I do NOT want to email the whole blog (which I could do with the Menu File, Email this link), I want to email the link for just that thread *within* the blog. The only wayI see to do that is to right-click to hover over the thread title (which is a link), then Copy Link Location, then go to my mail application....which is awkward and time-consuminb What I want is another right-click drop-down menu line which would be 'Email Link Location'. None of the add-ons I've looked at seem to do this. Or am I missing something?

Hello,

Are any of these extensions what you are looking for?

None of this do it because they want to send the URL of the page, rather than the URL of a thread within the blog page. For instance, I want to send: http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2014/10/09/a-monumental-error/ but what I get from them is: http://dish.andrewsullivan.com

....and/or they do it from the toolbar, not from the quicker right-click context menu.

HOWEVER, in looking at the puffery for shareaholic, they had a sample context menu that showed that what I wanted WAS REMOVED FROM FFX IN V16! Then it was called Send Link....and it can be put back in with: Send Link in context menu available as an AddOn. PLEASE stick it back into the regular FFx context menu functionality!!!!

Hello,

Try this extension as it claims to add that particular functionality back into Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/send-link-in-context-menu/
