I made a website to test your typing speed and I felt dirty disabling pasting, but that feels like an actual good use-case.
why wouldn’t you let people cheat? What’s the worst case outcome?
Now give me a “Don’t Fuck With Back” extension.
I’m guessing it’s all from the same ad network but I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of sites hijacking the back button to show more ads. Even the Associated Press site has been doing it and it drives me crazy.
There’s a special place in hell for whoever started that blocking paste shit, right next to the popup ad guy.
Also, does anyone know of an Android Xposed/Magisk Module that does the same thing?

…and the guy that came up with the <blink> HTML tag.
Didn’t he write that as a joke after they went out drinking one night early in Netscape’s development?
Not too many drunk pranks get codified for years in standards documentation!

There’s your perpetrator. He claims he didn’t write the code but it was his idea. Go get him!
The addon is available for Firefox on Android
Yea, but that’s not system wide so apps and stuff that route you to say a webpage for login with the internal browser will still fuck with copy and paste
You can turn off the “web-view”, everything should open in the browser app instead
Some banks don’t allow pasting passwords, which is insane
California DMV requires a bank routing and account number instead of a credit card, but doesn’t allow you to copy and paste it from your bank website. You have to type out the 20+ digits and if you get any of them wrong a cop pulls you over and potentially murders you.
I ran into this just the other day, a site wouldn’t let me paste my password into the “confirm password” field when signing up. Had to resort to editing the HTML properties because there’s no way I’m manually typing in my long-ass randomly generated password.
Does your password manager not support auto type?
It does, but (as far as I know) not for putting a newly generated password into a signup field.
I’ve seen password managers fail to detect password fields because the frontend devs thought whatever stupid piece of React crap they vomited from their keyboards was better than using standard html fields for their intended purpose. It’s not very common, but it happens. Credit card fields are also a big mess for the same reason. Half the time bitwarden’s best guess at auto filling those results in some absolute soup that makes no sense.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to send my warmest, most sincerest fuck yous to all the UX designers who think it’s a good idea to fuck with navigation. Don’t prevent me from opening shit in a new tab. Don’t just scroll the page up to the previous h1 when I try to go back. Who the hell do you think you are?
Even with CTRL+V? 99% of the time when I encounter this they only block right click, but CTRL+V will work for…reasons
Yep, even Ctrl+V didn’t work. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised considering it’s a government site (the signup for federal student aid).
I like addons that get straight to the point with their names
- You can change that setting in your about:config by setting dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false.
- This sadly prevents pasting (T)OTPs for websites that choose to have 6 separate input fields. You have to enter these codes manually.
why the hell do websites even have those 6 separate input fields? you can just have one and style it differently
Disabling clipboardevents entirely disables the clipboard API, meaning that single-click copy operations won’t work.
Maybe you’re fine with that, but it’s worth noting.
Do you know if this add-on does pretty much the same thing and with that will also have the regression regarding (T)OTP input fields?
I have a partial answer. The add-on has different modes for different degrees of bypassing. I’m sure the complete bypass would break it, but not sure about intermediate options.
I can confirm that it has not appeared to affect the functionality of those sites for me. Although… There are some sites with multiple fields that don’t work and some that do, I’ve just assumed that the sites which don’t work were down to poor code.
Can I get one that does the same with autofill
You can disable autofill in the settings.
I’m talking about websites that won’t let you use autofill. Why do I have to type in my email address when I have it saved in my autofill
so instead of linking to the valuable add-on, you post a screenshot of a screenshot of the store page.

You’re in microblogmemes not usefulfirefoxextensions
Now there’s an idea for a community!
Your are both right and I appreciate both of you
:3c
I don’t.
Elaborate, or don’t interact. You can’t just post “I don’t” without explaining why.
