## Description

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 <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/2141eac2eacda036b00afc30fd0a7e6f24e9bddf402cf4393fe5144f468147e8/http%3A//example.com" rel="nofollow">example.com</a> also covers <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/5385eba03662c919ffd97896ae0bc00268a831474074afb0f99122ede0ba383b/http%3A//www.example.com" rel="nofollow">www.example.com</a> and <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/15f0c5f811ec9ba124141684674696be64e5846a22cae3d32adfe2591905edde/http%3A//shop.example.com" rel="nofollow">shop.example.com</a>. 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.
