Fails to work on California Franchise Tax Board web pay #69

Closed adefaria closed 6 years ago

adefaria commented 6 years ago

To my surprise this extension failed to work at https://webapp.ftb.ca.gov/ which is the California FTB. I was making a payment to them and they asked for my banks routing number and then account number. Account number was asked for again to make sure and paste didn't work!

@adefaria, sorry you are having trouble with this extension.

There are many ways that a website author can try to control a user's browsing experience, this extension is just meant to prevent a site from blocking copy and paste browser events -- which is the most direct way for a site to interfere with copying/pasting, but not the only way. That does not prevent a site from effectively blocking paste by intercepting the related keyboard events (in this scenario, the extension would allow you to use Edit -> Paste from the browser's OS menu).

I cannot get to a payment screen on CA FTB's site, so unfortunately I cannot inspect the site to see how it is they are preventing you from pasting. When on their site, is the icon for this extension grey or blue? If grey, please see https://github.com/jswanner/DontFuckWithPaste/wiki/Version-2.0#usage for help.
