I search Add-ons and get a list. If I click the word "more" next to any item I get a page about that item.

However, most of the links on that page are not clickable and I cannot cut and paste the text of the links. I cannot even access the page source.

I assume this is a bug - Is there any way round it?

hello MartinThomas, i don't think this is a bug - you can use addons.mozilla.org to search for addons instead of the integrated addons manager, which doesn't behave like a normal website...

Do you mean the More link next to an installed extension on the about:addons page (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)?

That are XUL pages (view-source:about:addons) and thus behave differently regarding what you can do and only links that appear in blue can be clicked on those page.
