If I highlight a URL which my mailer (Alpine) breaks into several lines and then paste it in, Ffx takes care of the nonce line breaks, going right to the site. But if I copy that URL (sometimes, as with changing an xfinity password, many seeming lines long) into any other browser, *I* have to eliminate all the line breaks (and sometimes, not always, introduced extraneous characters such as % a/o angle brackets).Might not this virtue be grafted into Fedora's versions of other browsers, or into Fedora itself?
This is a feature that would be specific to the application being pasted into. Firefox knows that a newline is not useful in a pasted url, so it helpfully removes them. However, if you were copying into a document, you would not want newlines automatically removed from what you are copying. If you want this feature in other browsers, you will need to file a request on the upstream projects.
I assume also that your mailer is not detecting URLs, so you might file a request there as well. But it is possibly the sending system that is putting the newlines in the message in which case your mailer would not be able to properly detect the URL anyway.
