Pasting in Ajaxterm with Firefox

Published: 17/06/2009 by Andrew Kember (Updated on 17/02/2012) with tags: Solutions.

Ajaxterm is a linux terminal available in a browser.

To paste text into the terminal window, you need to press the ‘Paste’ button, but Firefox doesn’t allow javascript to access your clipboard for security reasons. To change that:

  • Go to about:config
  • Filter for codebase
  • Change the value of signed.applets.codebase_principal_support from false to true (double-click on it)

Now Firefox will prompt you when a website wants clipboard access.
