Copy most any jpg from any website for example: https://i.redd.it/4kllvjnfgvza1.jpg

Paste it into messages on OSX, and send it to a non-apple recipient.

Image will show its been pasted, then try and send it for a really long time, then eventually fail after a timeout. It will never succeed.

If I open the same url in Safari, right click and copy the same image in safari, then paste it, just like I did from firefox to the same recipient, it will work. every time.

Other people have reported this same issue since 2021/2022. Please fix it already.

FWIW, this is a m1 mac, not intel like the user agent claims.
