How to get Absolute XPath in Chrome or Firefox?

As written in the question I need the absolute Xpath and not the relative one.

I mean, I need something like this:

html/body/div[1]/section/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div/div[3]/div[1]/div/h4[1]/b

and not like this: 

//*[@class='featured-box']//*[text()='Testing']

On both browsers when I inspect the code and I use right click -> copy XPath I am getting the relative Path.

Please note, I am using Firefox Quantum and I cannot use firebug or firepath because they are not supported.

In chrome,for relative Xpath we use "Copy as Xpath" and for absolute Xpath use "Copy as full Xpath"
