    This is possible with the add on of the Mozilla that only allow you to the copy of the plain text without any image. This also work with viewing of the HTML code while copying the content of Firefox. This add on is known as the "Extended Copy Menu". When you select the content of the Web page at that time this will give you two option one is for the "Copy plain text" and another one for the Copy HTML. SO download it and enjoy it.

    Have you ever copied something to Thunderbird or Office and been annoyed that the text formatting (bold, font size, etc) came with it? Don't you wish you could just copy the text itself, without having to copy it, paste it into notepad, then copy it again? "Copy Plain Text" extension gives you an option to copy text without the formatting. You can even set it to trim extra space in and around the copied text!. To know more about it and download the same click here
