A little Firefox extension, extremly useful for somebody like me that always provide links in this forum: MakeLink.
It adds an entry in the context menu of the page, allowing to copy the pointed link as plain text (e-mails), BBCode or HTML link. More formats can be added. If not right-clicking on a link, it takes the current URL of the page and its title... Idem when clicking on selected text (current URL, selected text).
Very simple yet useful.

Note: Before that I tried Copy URL+ which seems more popular. But it never worked for me on Firefox 1.5... It is perhaps more flexible, but MakeLink is friendler for adding new formats (which you don't do often, I admit).

I still have the Copy Link Name extension, which can be useful in some cases.
