Hello,

After FireFox 80, the shortcut key of "Copy Link" and "Copy Email Address" was changed to L from A. This is really inconvenient for most right-hand users..

a> I posted a link 2 years ago below. But it is not working in the latest Firefox 120 under Windows 10. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1333526

b> I believe a lot of users are looking for this answer like this one below. https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1334749

c> Yes, thanks to this add-on which will add an extra link with shortcut key A, but it shows 2 duplicated links. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-link-address-a/

Anyone know how to change the L to A natively? I prefer the same way as a>, or post an add-on like c> but to change existing L to A, not add an extra link.

Thank you so much! Brian

That is a problem with the resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm file that no longer exists. I've updated the code and it should be working again.

By the way, this add-on is pretty good for common links, but it will copy email link as mailto:test@email.com. It would better to remove mailto: automatically. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-link-address-a/

Hello,

I fixed this issue already.

The file name is incorrect in autoconfig.js.

Again, here is the correct one. Hope this post helps others who see this post.

// first line is a comment line pref("general.config.filename", "autoconfig.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);

Thank you so much! Brian


Hello,

Thank you for your reply!

I tried the new version, but it generates another error of "Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator.". It is exactly the same issue as below. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1193032

Is there any way to resolve it, please?

Thank you so much! Brian

The code works for me, so there is something wrong with the autoconfig.cfg file. You can check the Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) for more info about what is wrong.

Make sure that autoconfig.cfg is a CFG file and not a TXT file with a hidden .txt file extension appended (autoconfig.cfg.txt).
