Hi there,

I would like to know a bit more about the technical reasons why image pasting from clipboard works on Chrome but not Firefox.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the text editor on github.com, e.g. by commenting on an issue 2. Copy an image to clipboard 3. Put the mouse cursor into the text editor area 4. Use CTRL+V to paste the image into the text editor

On Chrome, the image is pasted and automatically uploaded on Github. On Firefox nothing happens.

Can someone please shed light on this lacking feature?

I would so much love to see support for this on Firefox as it is a very convenient functionality.

Thank you!

Try pasting text. Does it work?

Sure, pasting text does work!

It's just images that do not seem to work.

Do you know why?

Or does it work for you?

Wait, you said you wanted to paste into a text editor? A text editor only takes text.

Depending on what you are trying to do, you need to use a program like Paint or Word on Windows.

The best is to try it yourself I guess.

Go to Github and try pasting an image into the compose editor.

The editor definitely supports image pastings. They work directly in Chrome(ium).

Thus I am wondering why Firefox does not support direct pasting from clipboard into the editor.

See the attached screenshot regarding the editor I am talking about.
