I stumbled across a weird bug yesterday, where I can copy/pate into all my other browsers (Edge and Chrome) but not in Firefox. It's like the feature is blocked (even though I clearly have things saved to the clipboard). I started Googling it, and to my surprise, this is a known issue and no one seems to have a straight answer on why it's happening or how to fix it. Firefox's official IT response is to just "
reset the browser.
" Which of course, is a BS answer in my opinion.
Anyone know why this is happening or if a solution was found? I'm running the latest version, just updated a few weeks back.

I use FF at home and at work without any copy paste problems. Both Windows 10 and Windows 11 have FF updated properly. Have you checked if disabling any add-ons might be resolving the issue?

Check if it runs in the developer console or the browser window.
Try this: open about:config, search for "preferece type" and set "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" to false.
