I've always been able to copy & paste text from other places to Whatsapp Web in Firefox Desktop computer before. But starting today, it's not working. It only works when I copy & paste text from Whatsapp Web inside but not from other software like MS office or Slack. It's very frustrating! I wonder if it has something to do with the newest Firefox update. Please fix asap!

They are aware, a fix is being worked on: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1849150 WhatsApp likely rolled out a change on their end.
