## how to fix clipboard pasting in older versions of firefox
|
|
```
|
|
🎉 firefox finally supports pasting by default starting from version 125.
|
|
|
|
👍 you don't need to follow this tutorial if you're on the latest version of firefox.
|
|
```
|
|
you can fix this issue by changing a single preference in `about:config`.
|
|
|
|
### steps to enable clipboard functionality
|
|
1. go to `about:config`:

|
|
|
|
2. if asked, read what firefox has to say and press "accept the risk and continue".
|
|
⚠ tinkering with other preferences may break your browser. **do not** edit them unless you know what you're doing.
|
|
|
|
![screenshot showing about:config security warning that reads: "proceed with caution. changing advanced configuration preferences can impact firefox performance or security." lower there's a pre-checked checkbox that says: "warn me when i attempt to access these preferences". lowest element is a blue button that says "accept the risk and continue"](images/troubleshooting/clipboard/risk.png)
|
|
|
|
3. search for `dom.events.asyncClipboard.readText`
|
|
|
