Hello. I can't copy and paste in Figma in Firefox whatsoever, both plain text and images. Tried doing it in Vivaldi and that browser showed a dialog prompt asking whether or not I want to allow the page to access the clipboard. I granted the permission and it's working there now. Can I do the same in Firefox somehow?

There are even more problems in the troubleshot mode (Figma files just not opening), so looks like I have to refresh. Although I don't remember messing with the about:config settings too much, but OK, thank you for the feedback
