is there a way to copy text from web pages unformatted to be used in other applications on the computer?
I tried several addons that claim allowing to do so, but that don't work.

You don't say which extensions you have tried. Was one of them https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... n-text-we/

Several of the apps/programs I copy INTO support pasting unformatted text via ctrl-sift-v.

Re: copy unformatted text
You can always copy the web page text and paste it into Notepad. That will leave it format-free. Then you can copy it out of Notepad to another application (and reformat it yourself...) That's what I do when other means do not work.
