Bug Description

In web pages there are often web addresses written as simple text, not as links.
If I want to open one of these links, I have to select the web address, copy it, open a new tab/window, delete the text in the address bar, paste the copyed text, press enter (or click the go button).
What I would like: I select the web address, right-click, epiphany understands that the selected text is a web address and adds an entry like "go to the web page" in the menu.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

- Epiphany is not part of the default install hence not a papercut.
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.

Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance.
