Firefox Clipboard

[PhantomLel]

Bug description

When I try to paste into Gitpod using "Ctrl-v" it gives this error and no option to give permission as Chrome does. Using 'Shift-Insert' does not give this error.

Steps to reproduce

Try to paste something into a workspace on Firefox.
My OS is Manjaro, perhaps that has something to do with it?

Workspace affected

No response

Expected behavior

Paste into workspace

Example repository

Affects all workspaces

Anything else?

No response

Try in Firefox troubleshoot mode to see if it's an issue with your FF config/extensions

No that is still creating the same error.

Actually troubleshoot mode seems to completely break Gitpod. I am just getting a loading screen and nothing ever loads.

Any other information I could provide to help diagnose the issue?

[axonasif]

That's odd. Could you share your console logs when that happens from within troubleshoot mode?

[akosyakov]

Could you share version of FF, operating system and browser logs?

@mustard-mh @jeanp413 Are you aware of any issue in upstream? It should be fixed in VS Code or FF itself, correct?

Ok so I'm not sure why or how considering I have had this issue for over a month, but today the issue just magically disappeared and I cannot replicate it anymore. I didn't remove or add any extensions or update Firefox or anything so I have no idea why but it seems like it is resolved now. I do want to keep the issue open if that's ok because it may come back soon. Thanks!
