Copying text into vim from web console

Whenever I am in insert mode in vim then decide to copy in some text by using the browsers (Firefox) paste command I lose all the newlines in the text I was attempting to copy. Is this something I could fix in .vimrc or by doing something easy?

Unfortunately it's an artefact of the way our in-browser console works. We may be able to fix it, though I can't promise a timeline. The separate editor you get by clicking on a filename on the File tab supports proper pasting, though.

It's not a big deal, I was just wondering if there was a quick and easy fix :)
