Paste does not work in Firefox navigator #6288

Description

@kof

Problem

Copy and paste in the Builder navigator does not work in Firefox. The user reports that copying succeeds, but pasting does nothing, both with keyboard shortcuts and the Webstudio context menu.

Reproduction

  1. Open a Webstudio project in Firefox.
  2. Copy an element, text box, or slot from the navigator.
  3. Try to paste it with Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V or the Webstudio context menu.

Expected behavior

The copied item is pasted into the selected location.

Actual behavior

Nothing is pasted. The same workflow worked a few weeks earlier. In Vivaldi, keyboard copy/paste works, while the context menu asks for browser permission before it works.

User impact

Firefox users cannot duplicate content through copy and paste in the navigator. The existing duplicate action still works.
