Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of Google Maps is cutting a pasting addresses into the search field. The Google Maps search field is a single line input, while most addresses are printed on two lines which means two cut-and-paste operations.

Unless of course you use Firefox. [Lifehacker][2] has a link to a post in the [Google Maps help group][3] which points out that Firefox can take double (or more) line input with a simple tweak to the about:config file.

To make this tweak work, visit [about:config][1] and follow these direction:

>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.

Naturally the tweak affects all input boxes, not just those in Google Maps. Also note that this should work in any Firefox based browser like, for instance, [Camino][4] or [Netscape Navigator][5].
