Good day.

Im having an issue with my Firefox developer Eidition (v 117.0b9 -64bit), where im not able to "paste" text on whatsapp web since 18th Aug 2023. (pasting imgs is fine though)

Tested other ways to paste using right click / Ctrl+V but it didnt work.. and if i copy something from same whatsapp and re-apply paste, also does not work (again to remind, only pasting text does not work) !

Checking though other browsers "Edge" seems to be ok and i was able to "paste" text normally. I hv yet to check on the issue on normal Firefox Browser.

Using Windows 10. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz 1.99 GHz RAM 32.0 GB


Since other browsers did not have this issue, i thought of raising this for Firefox devs to hv a look at it. Maybe some update done recently caused this glitch. So im doing my part in sharing feedback to improve an open source software which i use.

Thank you for the amazing browser.

Hi

I understand that this is an issue with WhatsApp that they are aware of and are looking into with an intention of correcting their service later today.

Wanted to edit question above.

I just checked again to verify copying something from same whatsapp web and paste, i just realized that actually works (my mistake for mentioning it above).

Other places tested where pasting from VScode into whatsapp web, does not work. Also pasting from WinSCP (copy to clipboard) to whatsapp, also does not work.

But the above works on Edge.

So far.

Hi Paul,

i see.. Tried researching before posting about the issue but couldnt find any news / article about it.

I did doubted at some point that it would be a whatsapp issue,but since it works on other browsers, seems that whatsapp web is handled differently on every browsers.

Thanks for the update !
