I copy (Ctrl+C) some text from Chrome , and want to paste in Firefox (Ctrl+V) whey need to move to the icon and click the icon 1 more time , then Firefox can let me past the text ? I don't want this function , downgrade the performance seriously.

I think can change it back in settings , no need to move to the icon and click .

This is a security feature described here to prevent random webpages from reading clipboard contents without your knowledge.

If you want to make that go away, try setting the pref dom.events.testing.asyncClipboard to true.
