After using Chrome for a decade and switching back to Firefox, one feature I missed was the ability to right-click and Go to [url] directly, for any selected text that vaguely resembles a URL.

I made Goto foo to approximately replicate Chrome's behavior in Firefox, but it would be nice if no extension were necessary.

www.example works, but www.exampl doesn't. Perhaps there's a minimum character count to trigger it...

maybe because example is a tld?

it's not a publicly registrable, but it's reserved by IETF/IANA for use on e.g. local networks or for documentation and is technically a valid tld.

this list doesn't include reserved TLDs
