Apparently I wasn’t clear enough in my other post. When I focus on the URL bar on a search page with either CMD L or by clicking it, I want to be able to just copy the phrase “lemmy” instead of having to select the text from https://www.google.com/search?q=lemmy. If I type search queries with spaces in them, the spaces are replaced with +s in the URL so I can’t easily copy them.
You can use the reverse of this (scroll down to the 3 steps): https://www.ghacks.net/2022/12/23/firefox-may-soon-display-the-search-term-instead-of-the-search-engines-address/. If you don’t have that option, I think you might be running an outdated version of Firefox.
