Does this Skrommel software do the same thing?

Or differently. I've used this little jewel off and on for a long time now.

Ah, thanks. I had forgotten about that software. Never tried it out either.
It looks as though it achieves a similar outcome to PopVideo, but in a different way.
I shall have to take a look and see...

I have been using this add-on for some time now and am keeping it. It really is useful and a real timesaver.
The great thing is that the selected text and all the associated URL metadata is saved as text into CHS (Clipboard Help & Spell) - which is a feature in CHS that I have wanted for quite a while.
Developer's website: http://qoelabs.com/quoteurl.php
Mozilla addon site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quoteurltext/

I went to the latter website, highlighted some text, pressed Ctrl+Shift+C, and pasted the text in the Clipboard below, in the quote. Note that the emboldened text in the quote was the selected text, to differentiate it from the rest of the text - which is related metadata collected by the add-on.

Quote URL text will copy selected text to the clipboard including Page Title, Location and copy date.

Pretty nifty.

Re-reading this post, I can now understand it may be important to say:
it has nothing to do with facebook!
---------------------------------------
Original post:

I was looking for something to make it acceptable to visit facebook...
but found "about:addons-memory" [a:am] and "RAM Tab" instead:

1) https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/about-addons-memory (by Nils Maier)
2) https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ram-tab

The problem with facebook (making the browser not answering) has gone, something was changed for the better, but I still like the informations given by Maier's addon [a:am]. It is of course not meant to be activated all of the time - just turn it on when you install a new addon, or when things have been updated or are acting weirdly.

The "ram-tab" is merely a button to make a:am easy accessible.

Dear press,

no, it is not OK to install this add-on along with the Top 20 or something add-ons and publish articles singling out the "biggest memory wasters" or something along the lines of this. This is wrong, superficial, sensationalist and outright wrong.

Adblock Plus, being the most popular add-on, using 20-30 MB of memory is not a problem. Add-ons that may use hundreds of mega bytes of memory with steadily growing memory usage *may* be a problem and this add-on is intended to find exactly these kinds of issues more easily.-Nils Maier

You might not bother to click-to-enlarge my screenshot (519x3194 pixels!), so let me just tell its conclusion: My many extensions and addons for Firefox are using a total of merely 10MB. I think it is amazingly little! Even the handful that are using the most, are in my opinion using very little; how many "programs" do you have that are merely using a MB or less?

appended:
I must admit, at first the informations from a:am made me de-activate a handful of addons. But when I then thought of it, I realized I merely had gained 3MB, and really, what is 3MB?! No, I will stick to my former claim: It is amazing how little memory all these addons are using!

MilesAhead:
I wonder if anyone knows an AddOn or setting that would allow the web site's images,backgrounds and colors to come through, but also allow text and link colors to be overridden?  The built in FF settings allow me to choose text, non-visited, and visited link colors. But they won't be used if "Allow sites to use their own colors" is checked.

What I'm running into is nice themes on forums but the text is hard to read.  If I could only override the text colors I'd be golden.

hamradio:
Stylish perhaps is your answer... :)

Note: Not affliated with that addon just a user of it.
