Linking to text fragments with a bookmarklet
- xnx 1y agoAs pointed out on the page, the bookmarklet functionality is redundant to built-in context menu feature.
- crtasm 1y agoFirefox did not have the menu item for me, I had to go into about:config dom.text_fragments.create_text_fragment.enabled
- throwaway81523 1y agoDoesn't appear supported in Firefox 128 LTS. No highlighting whatever I do. Thanks though, maybe it turns up in some later version.
- extra88 1y agoText fragment linking was added in Firefox 131. Firefox 140 is the newest Extended Support Release (ESR) so it can follow such links but I don't know if the context menu has the option to create them.
- ulrischa 1y agoThe implementation is not very good because you can not copy the link generated from the alert. Use this to copy to clipboard: https://gist.github.com/ulrischa/405b93646a0114986575000dcc02b46b https://gist.github.com/ulrischa/405b93646a0114986575000dcc0...
- aalukabi 1y agoYou are awesome, I came to highlight it and there is already the answer. Appreciated.
- privatelypublic 1y agoIn windows it should be ctrl+c like always for alert()s- even if the UI doesn't show it. Unless "modern" UI has broken that feature.

- johnnymellor 1y agoThis would be useful in Chrome for Android (which doesn't yet have this feature built-in), but activating bookmarklets on Android (via https://paul.kinlan.me/use-bookmarklets-on-chrome-on-android/ https://paul.kinlan.me/use-bookmarklets-on-chrome-on-android...) clears the text selection. So instead I've put together an alternative bookmarklet that lets you select the text to link to after activating the bookmarklet: https://gist.github.com/johnmellor/ef5ecf555f28b324b045e0c93548f0da https://gist.github.com/johnmellor/ef5ecf555f28b324b045e0c93...
