With Firefox, you can set this about:config setting to false to give you back the ability to paste, even when sites try to block it:

dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled



Disabling clipboard events will break certain helpful paste mechanisms too, for example pasting images to upload.


There's an extension called Don't Fuck With Paste, which is a better solution.


Can you explain why this is better than changing the configuration?


Presumably because the config option disables all access to paste events and this access is sometimes desirable.


I had to disable that extension for Facebook and MS teams or weird state happens. I would paste text, undo it all and still have text left over.
