Is there an add-on/extension/plugin that converts a plain text link into a clickable hyperlink?

A forum I belong to removed hyperlink capability to stop spammers. Is there something that can convert a plain text URL into a hyperlink for me in order to spare me from having to copy/paste every link into a new window?

"Linkification" is one possibility. The publicly released version isn't up to date but the reviews point to the website with an up to date version.

I have used it in the past without problems.

Thank you very much.

That one didn't work with my version of Firefox, but it did lead me here (http://yellow5.us/firefox/linkification/) which works perfectly.
