Currently, about:support "Copy all to clipboard" feature serializes the data displayed in a vertically sparse way, which makes it unfeasible for copy+pasting into bug report comments, emails, etc. Steps to "reproduce": 1. Go to about:support; 2. Press the "Copy all to clipboard" button; 3. Paste clipboard contents into a simple text editor (for example, Windows Notepad); 4. Paste clipboard into a rich text editor (for example, Microsoft Word). Expected results: 1. I'd expect the text-only version (from step 3) to be a little more "friendly"; 2. I'd expect the rich text version (from step 4) to be a little more "clean". Proposal is to: 1. Add less indenting in each entry; 2. Combine table cells into information tuples in the form "key: value"; 3. Treat the "Profile Directory" entry differently so that either it is suppressed (as there's no value in outputting "Open Containing Folder" in a text output) or actually output the directory as text during export (for example, "Profile Directory: C:\Users\MyUsername\... 4. Remove trailing space currently added all titles ("Application Basics ", etc.) and entries (all of "Application Basics", like "Name ", "Version ", etc.) 5. Maybe also consider expanding/suppressing "Enabled Plugins" and "Build Configuration" in the simple text clipboard version, as links aren't useful in a text-only output (I'm not sure if there's infrastructure for this). Current output is something like: Application Basics Name Firefox Version 4.0b7pre Proposed output would be something like: Application Basics Name: Firefox Version: 4.0b7pre For an example take a look at bug 594025 comment 30, where I have manually reformatted (part of) the output automatically generated.

I would also like Copy all to clipboard to output your current profile directory's path (your #3), but that won't be implemented; from bug 658186, "we don't want users accidentally giving away their OS username or profile nonce every time they paste from about:support."

Thanks for the proposal. There's an older bug about improving the output, so I'm going to dupe this one to that one, but I'll copy your proposal there.
