very nice text fragment add-on.
for me it worked out of the box with my Firefox 150.0 (64-bit) on a linux system.
as fare as i can tell i have no custom set config.
it just does what it should and this with minimal permissions!

You have to go into about:config
then search layout.css.scroll-anchoring-text-fragment.enabled
pres the (+) button on the right
make sure it says "true"
after that it worked perfect.
these steps should be included in the installation steps or in the read me file on github. Currently they don't exist anywhere.
Also it works every 5 or more tries.

Is Highlight to Link ๐ Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Highlight to Link ๐ requires very minimum permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
- High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.
