You get this when trying to paste on any page in firefox console view:
Scam Warning: Take care when pasting things you don't understand. This could allow attackers to steal your identity or take control of your computer. Please type 'allow pasting' below (no need to press enter) to allow pasting.
- merb 8y agoI actually don't get that.
- danShumway 8y agoDumb question, but have you ever pasted in the past? Once you do it once and turn on pasting, you won't get the warning again. about:config --> devtools.selfxss.count needs to be 0 when Firefox boots up to get the warning.
- TravHatesMe 8y ago"pasted in the past" I had to reread that a couple of times
- askafriend 8y agoPlease try to make a more substantive contribution next time. Comments like this don't contribute to the conversation and have quite a distracting effect. HN has its issues but the least we can do is to take care that the quality of discourse doesn't turn into another Reddit.
- tomhoward 8y agoYour general concern is commendable, but some content-lite comments are worse than others, and sometimes just making nice is more important than calling it out when a comment is largely benign.
- askafriend 8y agoFair! I actually deleted it first before going back and deciding to post it. I've started to see more "content-lite" comments recently (along with puns), so I figured it might be good to over-index on pointing out community values. Hopefully OP was able to see that it wasn't personal and that I meant no harm.
