firefox50.1.0
This extension is very easy to use, but it does not work in firefox50.1.0

Both my firefox release version and firefox developer edition are installed copyfixer.

However copyfixer doesn't works on firefox developer edition, while it is well-functional on release version.

copyfixer version on both firefox version: 1.1.2.1
firefox developer edition: 49.0a2 (2016-07-03)

i'd like to be able to hit Ctrl-C and get the URL and Subject for a particular conversation in GMail.

right now i can copy the URL and subject into my to-do list, but only manually using mouse, which is much slower. sure would be nice to hit Ctrl-C and then switch to my to-do list and hit Ctrl-V.

the reason i want a URL (and subject) to a particular conversation in gmail is because i can paste it into my to-do list (a separate app), and then file the conversation out of the Inbox. i can come back to it later though, simply by clicking on the link i made in my to-do list.

it looked like copyfixer was going to come pretty close, because it would take the email conversation's "Subject" from the title of the web page.

however, it had a problem: it appears that document.title does not work inside gmail (returns blank). also, the url that copyfixer returns is the same gmail URL which it found when i first arrived at gmail, no matter which email i'm looking at -- that is, the URL that copyfixer grabs does not change each time i move to a new email -- even though i can see a new URL in my address bar and a new title at the top of my browser.

after spending maybe an hour looking at this, i couldn't figure out how to alter copyfixer.js to make this work. perhaps this has to do with the dom changing via Gmail's AJAX, and the dom should be looked into to get these updated values, but i am not a javascript guru.

so, it would be nice if someone else could make these changes to copyfixer to include the subject of the email and the url for the gmail conversation/thread. .. or, if someone could give me a (detailed, preferably) clue as to how to make those changes..

thanks!
