If you ended up here, cobalt's clipboard functionality probably does not work for you in Firefox. You can fix this by changing a single preference in `about:config`.
## Steps to fix clipboard functionality:
1. Go to `about:config`:

2. If asked, read what Firefox has to say and press "Accept the Risk and Continue".
⚠ Tinkering with other preferences may break your browser. **Do not** edit them unless you know what you're doing.

Lower there's a pre-checked checkbox that says: "Warn me when I attempt to access these preferences". Lowest element is a blue button that says "Accept the Risk and Continue"](https://github.com/wukko/cobalt/assets/71202418/02328729-dbfe-4ea4-b2ca-7bcf1998c2ca)
3. Search for `dom.events.asyncClipboard.readText`

5. "false" should change to "true".

6. Go back to cobalt, reload the page, press `paste and download` button again. This time it works! Enjoy simpler downloading experience :)
