Hello,

On what device are you actually using Firefox? What OS version?

I've been also able to reproduce the issue on Windows 11, and have reported it on Webcompat.

This was the case for me with Windows 10 and continues to be a problem with Windows 11.

Firefox doesn't happen to have any clipboard permissions settings, does it? I haven't been able to find anything as of yet.

I tried to disable Enhanced Tracking Protection but that didn't change anything. Same for uBlock Origin and Facebook Container. I don't have any other privacy/ad-blocking related extensions.

I can do everything else in the right click menu on google docs EXCEPT paste. It is listed in the menu as an option, but wants to force the keyboard shortcut. The keyboard shortcut takes extra time, and when I make frequent use of this feature, that little extra time adds up throughout my day. PLEASE fix this. I have checked my about:config option of dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled and it is set to True. I have even set it to False, then back to True to see if I could get it to work, but it still doesn't.

The only way I found to fix the issues was to stop using FireFox. I moved everything to Chrome and the Opera Browser - the Opera browser required a plugin/extension, but it works. Mozilla has always been clunky, but when using 2 different gmail accounts you have to have 2 different browsers open - the only other option is Opera.

Well, yeah, that's because Opera is run on Chromium. So, it's fairly friendly to Google Docs and whatnot to begin with. Evidently Docs still isn't completely compatible with Opera if you needed some fiddling to get it to work, but still.

Basically, if you want right-click functions in Docs or whatever, you have to use Chrome/Chromium, and that's what I'm hoping will change in the future. Crossing my fingers!!

In Firefox 127+, sites can trigger a permission prompt so you can allow them to read your system clipboard -- which is how they know what to paste if you use their menu item instead of Firefox's own commands. This generally appears as a disembodied "Paste" button floating near the menu (or sometimes right on top of it). https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_API#security_considerations

It sounds like Google Docs hasn't integrated with this updated feature and instead just tells you to continue the old way. I'm sure they have excellent reasons for making this hard for Firefox users.
