British bookseller hides reading list for developers in its website source code

I'm using Firefox 35.0.1 on OS X, i.e. the latest version of Firefox and I can't find anything that is faster than "Show Source", click and drag (to highlight the desired url), copy, paste into url bar, and press enter.

I do not have any "Open" options on my right-click from "Show Source". From "Show Source" once I've highlighted the url, the only right-click options available are "Find Again", "Copy" (which I'm already doing, albeit from a keyboard shortcut), and "Select All".

If I try it from "Inspect Elements", I can expand the head tag, double-click to select the comment, click and drag to select the url, at which point my right-click only has the "Show DOM Properties" option available. But this has already taken longer than the above show source, then copy-paste, and go.

Huh. It turns out you're completely correct.

Turns out I was able to highlight and right click because I was selecting the <pre> embedded text in the comments of hacker news, rather than viewing source on the waterstones link.

I'm dismayed to report that the view source window doesn't give you this open. Even worse, if you right click on something that's highlighted as being a URL you can't even open it in a new window/tab. Colour me disappointed.
