Google Sheets - Paste Function not working properly in Firefox

Our take

Many users encounter frustrating issues when trying to paste content from external sources into Google Sheets while using Firefox. If you've recently faced the black "Paste" box and notice that standard shortcuts like CTRL+C and CTRL+SHIFT+V aren't working as expected, you're not alone. This problem, which began just a couple of days ago, can hinder productivity, especially when formatting is crucial. In this post, we’ll explore potential solutions and workarounds, enabling you to regain control over your spreadsheet tasks seamlessly.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

I am having an issue where if I copy something from outside the google sheet (In Firefox), it will not paste and will display the black "Paste" box as shown in the picture below (I am using shortcuts - CTRL+C / CTRL+SHIFT+V) ;

Before anyone asks, yes, the config "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" already shows as "True" and this issue only started two days ago.

If I copy and and paste values from within the google sheet, it will work properly, but if I try to copy and paste from another website, it will not work.

Copying and pasting with just CTRL+C / CTRL+V works, but this is not ideal, since the formatting is different.

A workaround I found was to double click the cell and then paste, but it does not work sometimes either.

Thank you in advance for your help.
