I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 and Firefox 84.0. Ctrl Shift V does not do anything. Any way to fix, version to upgrade/downgrade?

Paste (as plain text) Ctrl + Shift + V

I'm in openSUSE and don't see that option in any menu for Firefox.

I just tried in my email(outlook.com), Libre Office doc, and an email in Thunderbird and it works. Trying it in the browser address bar it does nothing. Even trying it in this box does nothing.
