Recently, I think it was yesterday when I updated FireFox developer to 88.0b2 (64bit) on my OS Windows 10 Pro (x64) 22H2 19042.870.

Firstly I noticed "take screenshot" option dissapeared from "3 dots" on the URL bar. Secondly, the "paste" (right click or CTRL + V) stopped working.

I cannot paste text neither from my Notepad or some Text Editor as usuall to some input field or textarea on some Website.

I can copy text from some input field of an Website, but cannot paste the text inside it from a Windows Explorer or whatever.

What is that wrong with FireFox stable/unstable versions?

I've had problems on "normal" FireFox, now I got them either on "developer". I really like this browser, but more and more it seems I would need to switch to some other just because.

Chosen solution

Okay, fixed - Eset NOD32 Internet Security -> Web access -> Banking & Payment protection - I have had an option "Protect all Web browsers" enabled with "all extensions".

When I turned it to "diasbled", copy-paste of large chunk text as before is working back again.

This option prevented pasting large text into textarea of my Firefox web browser.

Especially when pasting huage text like 400 lines of HTML/CSS, 14.000 characters into textarea field.

Why this happens?

I managed to get now to Default FirFox, screenshot works, but again, a lot of text pasting into input textarea is not working.

Cannot work as a Web developer -.-

Is the Windows 10 error somewhere? Registry or what?
