Add-on for URLS that wrap??

Is there an add-on that will let you select a multi-line URL and convert 
it to a single-line one that can be pasted into FireFox?

Usually, multi-line URLs are only partially underlined and clicking on

1)  place angle-brackets around the complete URL:
<   at the beginning
 >   at the very end

2) use TinyURL - which some people will refuse to open, as the 
*original* is not obvious. But you can now get a TinyURL as a preview, 
which shows the complete original URL.

create a new bookmark
name it Make TinyURL
open the  Properties  of that new BM
copy and paste this into the [ Location ] field:
javascript:void(location.href='http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url='+location.href
)

when you get a site with that loooonnnnggggg URL, simply click the 
bookmark "Make TinyURL" and the TinyURL-Homepage opens, complete with

two options - one as a "direct" TinyURL, the second is the option to
see 
a preview!

aw, shit - that URL did just what your OP complains about.... so here it 
is corrected:
<javascript:void(location.href='http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url='+location.
href)>

and you can see what the < > do!
