Handle External Links by HarshRaj2717

Prevents external links on all sites from opening directly. Instead, shows a popup with the link and a copy button. Useful for Firefox PWAs where clicking external URLs would otherwise replace your current app window, which isn't great for an app.

About this extension
handle-external-links
TLDR: handle-external-links extension for firefox - disables default behaviour of an external url click on all sites and provides a popup to copy the url instead.

This extension is made mainly with Firefox PWA in mind - I have faced this issue that I am using some site as a firefox PWA, say discord, and someone sends me a URL which I want to open but I click on that external URL and it runs in the same window closing discord, which is not something you ever want from an app. Hence, this extension disables this default behaviour for external links on all sites and shows a popup to copy the URL instead.
