How to open a non-linked web address in Firefox

While most web addresses on sites are clickable links, you will have noticed that some are just text that you have to copy and paste into the address bar of your browser. Alternatively, Firefox offers you the facility drag and drop these into a new tab. Simply highlight the address, click on it and while holding down the mouse button drag it up onto the tab bar. Firefox will then automatically open the page in a new tab. I have included a video of this function to show you what I mean.

Hello, I apologize for contacting you in this fashion, but I think you might be interested in submitting your site to my new tech directory…The Tech Directory at thetazzone.net

I’m assuming comments are moderated so when I click submit this post won’t automatically appear on site, if it does, I again apologize.
