[Autocopy] Autocopy: feedback from PhilT

I like what you did with AutoCopy.  I have an intranet application that was requiring IE, but now I am making it FireFox compliant.  IE has a function call [execCommand("Copy")] that allows access to the clipboard.  I have a link that users can click, and then just past into their email client to send the link.  Is there any way to have this work the same way in FireFox? I noticed that your extension accesses the clipboard directly. (One reason for doing it this way is that the links can get quite long and vary down the list.  With a link that says, "click Here" I can keep the page viewable without scrolling).

Thank you.
