That's with frames on. I like the frames.

click on. The same thing happens in Chrome so I know it's not just a
Firefox issue. Apparently, the folks at Oracle don't want us to know the
direct URLs to specific pages.

It's not anyone's issue.

Not with a choice between frames and no frames it's not an issue, no. I
can't remember for the life of me whether Javadoc has provided the
frames/no-frames option since Day One, but I suspect it has...in which
case no problem.

In the specific question at hand of copying the link's URL to the clipboard,
the presence or absence of frames is immaterial. You can copy the link either way.
