Interesting and thoughtful possibility. However, be careful of what you ask for.
I see the potential for malicious use of such a 'feature' by the multitudes of miscreants who deliberately do damage.

Subject: Feature Request for long links
Firefox, along with few other browsers, has one valuable feature
that should spread. If you copy a *long* link (like, say, three to five
lines long in an email) into its address bar, it will eliminate the
spaces that come from line ends, and go to the site.
With most other browsers, you have to proofread the pasted URL,
finding and removing the gaps. Irritating, and a waste of time.
No doubt the code to fix those links is internal to Firefox, and
one would have to beg umpteen developers each to adopt it. But need it be?
Could Fedora maybe go into the code, say between any browser and
the networking code that tells the computer to send a link, and insert
something to clean the link before acting on it?
This would be a great boon, especially those of us who surf with
arthritic eyeballs and trifocal fingers.
