How do I paste images into Facebook, like I can in Chrome?!

In chrome on Facebook, I could use the windows snipping tool to screenshot something, then press the copy button on the snipping tool window, and then Control+V to paste it into a Facebook chat. This doesn't work on Firefox and it's driving me insane, I use it all the time. Can someone fix this?! I simply can't use Firefox without it, it's a vital feature and I think it's ridiculous that you can't paste images on Firefox.

Hi, I don't use FB, so can't test in that, but you could try a screenshot add-on. Here's two that work for me -

That does not fix my problem at all. I already have a screen capture program, it's the default Windows Snipping Tool. It's Firefox that is broken, you cannot paste images by "Ctrl+V" unlike in Chrome.

This isn't just a facebook thing, you cannot paste images anywhere on any website on Firefox. This is ridiculous.
