Can't paste into text windows, and I keep getting signed out of websites. This happens with any version of Firefox newer than 49.0.2. Is there a fix for this?

When adding content to a website, I'm unable to paste (ctrl + v/ctrl + shift + v) into the text windows. I also get signed out of the website after a couple minutes, sometimes even a few seconds.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
