Features & Capabilities

Selection Context Placeholder lets you right-click selected (or copied) text and open it in a saved URL template, replacing a {selection} placeholder with the text and opening the result in a new tab.

You can save and reuse multiple templates — each shows up as its own context-menu item (e.g. a search engine, dictionary, or translator).

Add new URLs on the fly, fall back to clipboard text when nothing is selected, and remove or clear saved templates from a sub-menu. Templates persist in local storage.

Is Selection URL Templates 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.

Selection URL Templates requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Selection URL Templates may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
