Lifehacker Firefox Tip: Paste multiple lines to input boxes June 7, 2007

 I have needed this so many times…

If you’ve ever tried copying and pasting a multi-line address into Google Maps just to realize that an input box will only take one line at a time—meaning that you have to copy and paste each line individually—there’s a simple Firefox tweak that will solve this problem:

Type “about:config” in the location bar. In the “Filter” field type “singleline.” You can set the value to 2 for editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines, which will allow pasting of multiple lines to input boxes.

Panda NanoScan is a browser based program the scans your computer for ickies. You install a small plugin the first time you run it. NanoScan works with IE and Firefox.

The quick scan takes about a minute to run. If you want something more thorough, the TotalScan will do a complete system scan.
