Copy a URL from Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox
Internet Explorer 5.0 and Up, Mozilla Firefox All Versions
Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP

It's easy to make a typo when typing a URL to save in a document, send to a friend, etc. If the URL you want to copy is on the Address line of your browser, click the address with the right mouse button and choose Copy (or Control + C). If the URL is represented by a link, (this can be a text link or a graphic link) right click the link and choose Copy Shortcut. Now you can paste the URL where you needed it by either right mouse clicking and choosing "Paste", or just click Control + V in the application you want to paste the URL into.

Or, if you just want to send a link to the page you're viewing to a friend by email - click "File" "Send" and choose Send link option in Firefox or "File" "Send" "Link by E-mail" in Internet Explorer.
