Outlook clipboard

So Outlook is refusing to let me right click and past again. I thought i solved this problem a few years ago by setting dom.events.asyncClipboard.clipboardItem dom.events.asyncClipboard.readText dom.events.testing.asyncClipboard to True in about:config. And sure enough those settings are still set to True so why is Outlook now telling me it can't access my clipboard again?

I still have Win7, let me see if I can replicate. Provide the exact steps to replicate your issue.

Navigate to the outlook website ( https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/ ). Start a new email. Right click in the message body area and paste whatever is in your clipboard.
