Hello,

On newest updated Firefox 116.0.3 (64-bit), Windows 10 Home 10.0.19045. WhatsApp Web has also been updated to latest version. This morning, Web WhatsApp has lost the ability to Copy & Paste - cannot paste anything into the WhatsApp window or chats in Firefox, either from Firefox or from other apps such as Notepad.

WhatsApp Web C&P works perfectly in Chrome as of now. Please look into this.

Thanks!

They are aware, a fix is being worked on: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1849150 WhatsApp likely rolled out a change on their end.
