Making Firefox Handle Multiline Pasted

Topics Firefox on December 15th, 2007

Andrei provides an excellent tip for users in Pasting Wrapped URLs:

Here’s another / tip: if you copy a URL wrapped over multiple lines from somewhere and try to paste it into the address bar, you will end up only with the first line of it. To fix it, go to about: and change editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines setting to 3 or add:

user_pref(”editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines”, 3);

to your user.js file. Now all the line breaks will be removed upon pasting.

Excellent! I’d been looking for such a feature.
