> Another SUMO user who has remote desktop with clipboard enabled added that after disabling clipboard suggestions, pasting into the address bar triggers the same problem. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1446876#answer-1652076

First thing to note here, is that on Windows any third party app can lock any other app using the OLE clipboard when it tries to access the clipboard. I demonstrated it locally with few lines of code. That's not really fixable on our side, it's a Windows problem.

The only thing the urlbar does differently from other input fields is parsing the string to check if it's a URL, so of course it may have performance problems with very large strings. As the user said it was a short string so not that problem. Then I suspect a locked clipboard as I explained, but that same issue was there in any previous versions of Firefox then.
