Just released Firefox’s Extension Paste and Go version 3.
Actually I didn’t make it from the scratch, I just update it to make it work with Mozilla Firefox 3.x.x and it’s working fine (this release will work on Firefox 1.5 to 3.x.x). Here I’ll try to show you how the extension will ease the use of Mozilla Firefox.
Use of the extension:
Most of the time while we surf the internet, we have to copy some URL and paste the URL on the address field and hit enter or click the go button. Now this extension for Firefox will ease the the whole process. You have to copy an URL, right click on the address field and select “Paste and Go” That’s it!
Installation:
Go to: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9133 with Mozilla Firefox, on the page and you will see a button like this:
Currently Mozilla left the extension as experimental extension, so you have to check the box “Let me install this experimental add-on” to add this extension on your Firefox browser. You can also download the extension by clicking here.
Click on the “Add to Firefox” button and a window like this will appear:
Click on the “Install Now” button to install the extension and the extension will be installed on Firefox. You will notice a progress like this:
A window like this will appear after the installation is finished:
Click on the “Restart Now” button to restart Firefox and make the extension work for you. If you are doing something important, you can restart Firefox later. But only after restarting Firefox the extension will start working,
After restarting Firefox, you will see a notification that one extension is installed.
Close the window and continue using Firefox.
Now whenever you need to copy an URL and paste it on the address bar, just copy the URL and right click on the address bar and select paste and go. 😛
Hope this will be useful for you and you will enjoy the extension. If you encounter any problem, please leave a message.
Update, 16 September 2009: Released 1.0.4 with Simplified Chinese translation.
Nice 🙂
Thanks . trying this .
Omi bhai, this option is available in Chrome from beginning. Good that you made for Firefox. I’m installing it 🙂
Thanks Omi bhai,
I was looking for this.
Thank you *SO MUCH* for updating this extension! I’ve been waiting forever, since I take it for granted in Opera, so I missed it in Firefox. Great work!
The search engine roll feature doesn’t seem to be working. Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks omi vai. I am using it in Flock2(mozila3 based social browser) and working fine. Thanks for this nice plugin.
the download at addons.mozilla is broken (yes i am logged in with my account)
it will start to install but soon fail with an error dialogue;
could you please look into this?
Hello,
can you tell me how to change the language of the Paste and go from context menu?
Thanks
opera has this option from before!
For anyone who is having trouble installing this, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424339#c45 — there is an AMO bug that breaks installing sandboxed addons if third-party cookies are disabled.
Are You planning to add translations for other languages to this extension?
thank you ‘pantsgolem’
the extension is still not compatible with “AutoCopy” though;
the paste and go option will remain greyed out when copied automatically – it works with regular copying
Paste and Go: The ability to click the mouse wheel in the “Paste and Go” and “Paste and Search”. depending whether to copy the URL or a word to search there has been a “Paste and Go” or “Paste and Search” (in the address bar – omnibar in gChrome).
Tried to install but it keep say not a valid installation package 207
Thanks!
I’ve used the original “Paste and Go/Paste and Go 2” Since the code was first written.
But (as you know) it isn’t supported in Firefox 3. 🙁
(You would think they would have a clue… huh?)
Anyway, thanks for upgrading this code to work in FF3.

Extension don’t saves presets an opens the link in the active tab every time I press keyboard shortcut. I changed the shortcut itself and it works, but the first tab of the presets window seems not to remember any changes.
I’m on FF 3.0.6 and XP SP3
And in Russian interface its named as “Paste and Go 2”
@Sub
I said clearly that this is not something new. As everything is taken from Paste and Go 2, the translations are still old. And as I know no other language I cannot update them. 🙂
If you can give me update I can fix them and release new version.
Hello, I’ve been trying to add Paste and Go 3 to my browser, but get this error message instead:
Firefox could not install the file at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/38795/paste_and_go_3-0.8.1-fx.xpi
because: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption)
-261
Has anyone else seen this error message? Any help? Thanks.
Just figured it out by reading this entire thread. Third party cookies must be enabled. It worked.

Forget the language updates, it’s not so important.
The main question was that this extension’s first tab of the presets window seems not to remember any changes.
I don’t want to open the link in current tab, but in the new active tab.
Sub,
The extension you are looking for is here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7163
Thanks, but I prefer opening the link by keyboard shortcut. Like CTRL+C the link, CTRL+Shift+V to open in in new tab.

Very good. As you know extensions are for making people idle and you know that. 🙂
Great Plugin but “Replace whole text field” does not work (FF3.0.11/Linux). This makes the selection clipboard pretty useless.
Hi,
I’ve modified the xpi in order to add french translation (and made my own default preferences). I’m not sure of translation concerning engines search because I did not really understood how it worked.
The translation files are in locale/fr-FR directory. The xpi is here:
http://vodkaiste.servhome.org/divers/paste_and_go_3-1.0.2-fx-fr.xpi
I’ve zipped it with “UnZip 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Ubuntu. Original by Info-ZIP”.
Hope this will be helpful. 😉
Hi. Great to have this extension in its updated form: many thanks. One query: “open pasted URLs and search results in’— I can’t get the option for “new tab in background” to stick. I choose this option but each time Paste and Go re-sets itself to “current tab”. Any ideas as to what’s going on here?
alleluia!! I was waiting here for the update since FF 3.5.2 and nothing. Finally I came here and voilá. Apparently Mozilla doesn’t automatically update the experimental add-ons. Keep this on, I was dying here without it! THANK YOU OMI, VVVVV…MUCH!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!
Does not work for me all the time.
Using FF3.5.2
It’s working for everyone my dear. Sorry it’s not working for you. Try another computer or create a new user on your computer and try to install this on that user’s firefox.
It’s not working at all on 3.5.3
At all. And no, I will not be creating a new user to test this.
It’s
Not
Working
Currently!
Feature “Middle click in the drop down menu of the search engines” don’t work with extension “Organize Search Engines”.
Please fix.
please polish translation:]
“paste and go” – “Wklej i przejdź”
please make it compatible with Autocopy!
No,
I cannot!
Can you make this compatible with Firefox 3.7?
Thanks!
Have you Plan to make it compatible for Firefox 3.6?
http://zoneshare.eu/files/paste_and_go_3-1.0.4-fx.xpi
for ff 3,6 and 3,7 🙂
Liptonace,
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much liptonace . Works well on 3.6
Thank you again liptonace. I only have one non-working extension left to hack now. 🙂
Any chance to put updated extension on official addons site?
Anyone wants to take the project over?
You might want to fix the several Error Console noise:
Warning: Unknown property ‘-moz-opacity’. Declaration dropped.
Source File: chrome://pasteandgo2/skin/overlay.css
Please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/opacity#Notes
Hello, thanks for this very useful add on, use the feature always on OPERA, which is my main browser, but FF has its uses cause Opera doesnt work that well with all pages, anyways i have a suggestion, that you would make future add on so that one could replace this “Paste and go” promt with custom text, that would be useful because most of my windows and firefox is in a language other than english and having this single line, however useful in english is a kind of a distraction. cheers. other than that, translated versions for all the official FF languages would be a option, lauborous one might i add.
Hello, Many thanks for updating this very useful add-ons.There is an issue (at least on Windows): If you copy any text with the keyboard (Ctrl+C) the context menu stay disable. But with a copy from RightClick, it is OK. This is an old problem from version 2. I Changed the line 302 in pasteandgo2.js with /* pgPrefsObserver.cmdBroadcaster.setAttribute(‘disabled’, false); */. Please see http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=499539&start=45&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
Do you want to take the project over? I’ll be more than happy if anyone wants to take it over.
I’m tired dealing with Mozilla guys!
No because I am not a developer, only try to fix sometime extension on my FF. On other hand, I understand you concerning some mozilla guys.
> I’m tired dealing with Mozilla guys!
What are the issues in dealing with Mozilla? Please expand.
Everything including “Ctrl + C” is working here.
By the way, this is my most favorite add-on.
[..] A little unrelated, but I really liked this website post [..]
This can’t be used under Firfox2, it’s too bad.
Update your outdated browser…
Update Paste and Go to Firefox 3.7a3pre. Anyway, great addon! 🙂
lol a few of the reviews folks put up are a little out there, many times over i question whether they in truth read the article and content before writing a comment or if perhaps they only read over the title of the blog post and jot down the very first idea that drifts into their minds. in any event, it’s pleasing to browse sensible commentary once in a while in contrast to the same, classic oppinion vomit that i oftentimes discover on the web i’m going to enjoy a smattering of rounds of zynga poker regards
Hi, hoping someone can solve this. How do I achieve the following results using the ‘Paste and Go’ button, instead of my clipboard content being sent to goggle search:
i Traffic
http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=Traffic
Paste and Go with pt-BR language added by me

Thanks for working on this addon. I’ve installed previous versions and they always become obsolete! I’m glad you’re contributing. I do have a bug report: the addon conflicts with the FaviconizeTab addon, causing FaviconizeTab to not work.
Thanks for this. I’m seeing a problem where eventually ‘Paste and Search’ just becomes disabled and never re-enables, even though ‘Paste’ is enabled.
If I restart FF it’s fine again.
Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for the add-on. How can I change the language. Or can you add Turkish(TR)?
Paste and Go = Yapıştır ve Git
Paste and Search = Yapıştır ve Ara
PLEASE add support for Firefox 4.0 Beta 1!
Hi, I LOVE this plugin, but about five out of ten times it adds something about google chrome new tab! Can you help?
not compatible with Firefox from 20100720 v. 4.0b2 🙁
maybe you can add Polish translation? I can help wit this 🙂
