Features & Capabilities

Paste Control gives you a simple per-site switch for pasting, right from the toolbar.

What it does:

Block paste — stop pasting on a site (Ctrl/Cmd+V, and paste via input events).

Force paste — re-enable pasting on sites that deliberately block it, such as some login and banking pages.

Default — leave the site alone and use the browser's normal behavior.

Subdomains: A rule applies to a site and all of its subdomains, so a rule on example.com also covers www.example.com and shop.example.com. You can set a separate rule on a specific subdomain to override the parent.

Managing your rules: The options page lets you add sites manually, see every rule in one list, remove them, and import or export your rules as a JSON backup. Your rules also sync across the Firefox browsers you are signed into.

Privacy: Paste Control makes no network requests and collects no data. Everything is stored in your own browser.

Is Paste Control Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Paste Control requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Paste Control is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
