FAQ / COMMON ISSUES

Why do you require the clipboard permissions?

Strictly speaking the clipboard permissions could be replaced with textareas as i've done with some other addons.
The difference to these addons and this one is that they dont already require a much more powerful permission to just work, which makes worrying about the clipboard permissions just a mood point.

Why doesnt the addon work on some mozilla sites?

Some sites are protected by firefox internal addon restrictions, so out of the box addons can not function on those sites.
There are workarounds for this. Search around and you'll likely be able to find them. Not adding specifics here, since i dont wanna play catch up when things change.
