CopyPlainText is one of my favorite Firefox add-ons because it can filter out all of the formatting and leave the text alone. It is an amazing tool especially when editing non plain-text editor such as Microsoft Word etc.
After I upgrade to Firefox 3.5, I found that this add-on is no longer available. Therefore, I created my work-around version here. No functionality has been changed, except it works fine in Firefox 3.5+ 🙂
Download CopyPlainText 0.3.4 for Firefox 3.5 from here.
Enjoy~!
…And if you want to use any Firefox Add-on on Firefox 3.5+ but it is not available, feel free to let me know! Don’t forget to include the link of the apps.

This didn’t work on XP, I tried it twice.
In Firefox –> File –> Open File –> Choose the file you just download(CopyPlainText-0.3.4.xpi) –> Install –> Restart Firefox –> Enjoy!
Just downloaded and installed as per Derrick’s instructions. CPT now works with Firefox 3.5.1 🙂 Thanks
Works like a charm! Thank you very much. It’s one of my favorite addons too.
Works like a charm! Thanks a lot.
This used to be one of my favorite add-ons too and I really missed it after installing Firefox 3.5. But now it’s back and it works like it used to work 🙂 Thanks mate!
Getting this error… it could be that something about the way you re-zipped it isn’t liked on Win7.
Firefox could not install the file at
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Jon%20Warren/Desktop/CopyPlainText-0.3.4.xpi
because: Not a valid install package
-207
I don’t have any problem on Windows 7. I will prepare another version and put it here.
thanks for providing this great FF add-on
I am pretty heavily into photography and am disappointed that my EXIF viewer is not compatible with Version 3.5 Any help out there?
I think the EXIF Viewer is already compatible with Firefox 3.5.

Thanks, man.
I found the .xpi file saved from that link just included a redirect to another .xpi file. To get this to work, I downloaded using the link I found inside that package which was:
http://24.183.55.167:8100/download/CopyPlainText-0.3.4.xpi
You are right. It’s a redirected link. I prefer to publish the link http://www.icesquare.com/download/CopyPlainText-0.3.4.xpi because I do not own that IP address. If my computer got a different IP address, then I don’t need to replace the link if every post in my blog.
By the way, I have tested to download the add-on using http://www.icesquare.com/download/CopyPlainText-0.3.4.xpi using Firefox and it worked fine. Did you have any problem using this link?
Thanks.

Works like a charm!
Before this “new” version of CopyPlainTest, I was considering going back to an earlier version of Firefox, as that is how important this extension is to me. I use it mostly when pasting web content into an email using Outlook.
(My “work-around” was to create my email, then re-format it to “text” and then back to “html.” Or, to copy the text into NoteTab Pro, and then past it back to my email.)
Thanks a bunch!!!
worked! thanks!
Works a treat thank you so very useful utility didn want to lose it
sorry, doesnt cooperate with autocopy 1.0 that well
Thank you SO MUCH for making this work. I can’t live w/o this brilliant add-on. REALLY appreciate the effort you made to make this work for the rest of us. Thank you SO MUCH again.
I can’t download it.
I from china, but there can’t found any valueable website to download this add on.
Wow! what an idea ! What a concept ! Beautiful .. Amazing … 🙂
