    @Serafina, pasting into a text editor and copying that before using CTRL+V into Firefox works.
    If the system clipboard can't be used directly, I'd say it is definitely a bug, in concept if not execution. This is supposedly provided as a convenience, but isn't convenient at all.

    I was to post this, and that. It is not my browser of choice, Chrome is.

    Doesn't work for me, at least not the few times I've tried.
    It would be so much simpler, and actually convenient, if they were copied to the clipboard in a suitable (plain text?) format.
