Paste Multiple Lines into Input Boxes on Firefox

Posted by: Matt In: Tech

Ever tried to paste a multi-line bit of text into a Google Maps input box or the like and only had one part of it copy over? Now, by tweaking one setting inside your favourite browser, you can paste all that texty goodness!

Type “about:config” in the location bar. In the “Filter” field type “singleline.” You can set the value to 2 for editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines, which will allow pasting of multiple lines to input boxes.

It even works for the Address Bar, cool eh?!

That’s really cool. You had the guts to face the intruder(had there been one).
