Why doesn't paste work?

The paste feature works if I'm pasting a URL into the address bar. But the paste feature does not allow me to do anything when I try to paste into a comment field. I can see the orange arrow which resembles a house, but it will not activate any kind of paste thing.

Hi r_kutney

Since we can't read minds :-) we need more troubleshooting details to help you:

  1. What model of Android tablet or phone are you using? What version of Android are you using (e.g. Jellybean 4.1-4.3, Kitkat 4.4, Lollipop 5.0, 5.1, etc)?
  2. What version of Firefox for Android are you using? (please try the latest version which is currently FF37.0.1)
  3. What did you do exactly, what happened and what did you expect? (details please! especially the website you are copying from and pasting to including the url of the website with the comment field when you say " But the paste feature does not allow me to do anything when I try to paste into a comment field." and of course a screenshot showing the problem would be helpful!)

Cheers!
