I just realized that you can save small pieces of text as bookmarks in Phoenix (Mozilla Firebird).
I have a folder in my bookmarks bar, by accident I drag'n'dropped a pieces of text from webpage to this folder (I intended to release the mouse button over the desktop to create a clipping) and interesting enough, a "bookmark" was created with all text in the first paragraph of the text dragged. Of course, this is not a valid bookmark, however it can be very useful to store small snippets of text from webpages (e.g., phone numbers).
[robg adds: This only works for short text snippets, as you can't load the clipping -- it seems to display the first 30 to 40 characters or so.]
