You don't need an extension for this, you can go into about:config and flip dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false.

Doesn't that disable other clipboard events, though? There are quite a few other sites that I want to be able to use copy/paste events correctly.

Ya, anytime a site uses a contenteditable element, they usually need to listen for paste content and do things like stripping html tags and whatnot. Basically any wysywig style editor like a Facebook post.
