How to copy a list of links from a page at once on Google Chrome or Firefox?

    I want to copy all of the links from simple page of multiupload, like http://www.multiupload.com/B8VA5F2U4U.

    As you can see there are some links but the links as they appear on the page are just "shortcuts" that are refering me to the site from multiupload.

    Is there any fast way to be able get all of them with ctrl+c?

    The simplest way I've thought about is to open them with snap link and then get the url of all open tabs(which include others as well but that what ive thought about).

    I'm using Google Chrome, but if anything like that can be done in Firefox just tell me.

    Snap Links Plus for Firefox:

    With Snap Links Plus you can open multiple links in to new tabs by drawing a selection rectangle. You can also use it to click multiple check boxes, buttons and JavaScript links with a single action. Many other actions are available for the selected links such as open links in one new window, open each link in separate windows, copy links to the clipboard and more.

    Opera users can just use the Links Panel (press F4 to open the sidebar and then the plus sign to enable the links panel, if it's not already enabled):

    The links panel extracts all links in the current webpage so you can easily find images, music, video clips, zip files and other downloads, as well as links to other pages.

    Example: Type "mp3" in the "Quick find" field to find all mp3 files on the page.

    Tip: Click the "Lock" button to keep the current list of links even if you browse to other pages.

    No need to use unnecessary add-ons that slow down your browser and website loading times...

    Just select all the links and copy them, you get something like this:

    MultiUpload 
    http://www.multiupload.com/B8VA5F2U4U
    
    Megaupload  
    http://www.multiupload.com/MU_B8VA5F2U4U
    
    Uploadking  
    http://www.multiupload.com/UK_B8VA5F2U4U
    
    Uploadhere

    Depositfiles

    Hotfile

    Wupload 
    http://www.multiupload.com/WU_B8VA5F2U4U
    

    If you only want the links, you can easily use nifty tricks / reg exps on it with something like Notepad++:

    1. Bookmark all the lines containing http://.

    2. Use Search > Bookmark > Inverse Bookmark.

    3. Use Search > Bookmark > Delete Bookmarked Lines.

    4. You can even do this on the source code if you make two regular expressions that split multiple links from multiple lines onto one line as well as remove everything that's not a link.

    5. Please note that these steps can be saved as a macro! ;)

    One of my favorite features of Mozilla Firefox is the "Search for text when I start typing" feature found in the "Advanced" options. Is there an extension out there that will add this feature or another way of adding it to Google Chrome?

    Try the Type-ahead-find extension

    • Start writing (or press /) to start text search.
    • Press ' to search only links.

    Installed and tested, feels just like you've turned on the option in Firefox.
