When dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled is toggled to false, pasting in Google Documents no longer work

Some websites, like my bank, don’t let you paste into the password field. I don’t want to manually type in the password. I found a workaround:


  1. Go to about:config
  2. Search for dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled
  3. Double-click it to change the value to "false"

But the problem is that pasting into a google document no longer works. I have to revert the value back to “true” to get copy-pasting working in a google document.

Is there a way to have the best of both worlds: paste in google docs and paste in sites that block pasting, like my bank?

There are extensions for this like Don't **** With Paste, though you need a high degree of trust to use it on a bank site.

Can you not remember a login for your bank? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-edit-logins

Hi Terry, I was creating a new password for this bank (new account). Remembering a login is a step that follows this.

Hi ZeroKnight, Is there no way to have the "best of both worlds" without an extension? In other words, by making changes to about:config or javascript or something under the hood?

Does using "Use Saved Login/Password" in the context menu not work as well ? You may have to hold the Shift key when right-clicking.
