Another week slaving for “the man” and you now get your two days of freedom. Not necessarily only two days, because as you have noticed here, we support wasting any time working at the office on Friday playing a fun flash game.

BoomBot

Boombot is a simple game of using explosives to get your robot to the next level.

The game starts out simply, but there are more than 50 levels to play.

Use the size of your bombs to get the bot over different obstacles.

It starts out easy and progresses to harder challenges. You have to use larger bombs for the harder challengers. You will also have to use some of your explosives to destroy obstacles.

With over 50 levels you will have plenty of time to waste at work!

Are you tired of having to paste text into Notepad from Firefox to remove the formatting before you can use it elsewhere? See how easy it is to remove all the formatting with the Copy Plain Text extension.

Before

For our example we chose an article that had embedded links, bold section headers, and varying sizes of text. The “Context Menu” only offers a single “Copy Command” and there is no doubt that the formatting will also be copied.

Here is how the text copied from our example article looked after being pasted into Microsoft Word. It is easy to see the intact links, bold formatting, and multiple text sizes. Not very nice to work with is it? But it is very easy to fix…

After

Here is our example article and “Context Menu” after installing the Copy Plain Text extension. Now you can easily chose between retaining the formatting or totally eliminating it when you copy the text.

This is much better and you can easily do whatever you desire with the text.

Options

The options for Copy Plain Text are easy to sort through…simply enable or disable features to suit your needs. Notice that there is an option to make it the “default copy action”.

Conclusion

If you have been looking for an easier way to remove formatting from the webpage text that you copy in Firefox, then this is definitely the extension to add to your browser.
