User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0
Steps to reproduce:
Copy any text from any source to the clipboard by using Ctrl+c.
Open wirh Firefox any website where there is a form with an empty text field.
Press Shift+Ctrl+v. This is meant to paste the clipboard content as plain text.
Actual results:
Nothing happens.
The clipboard content can not any more be pasted as plain text using the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+v
By the way: Ctrl+v still works, but this pastes as formatted text. In many cases it would be useful to paste as plain text.
Expected results:
In previous versions of Firefox it was possible to use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+v in order to paste the clipboard content as plain text.

Confirmed that this does not work. How does Shift+Ctrl+V differ from just Ctrl+V, though?

Can't confirm this part, Firefox hasn't supported this shortcut on Windows since at least 2005.

I am doing a lot of webmaster things with a CMS. It's important to me to be able to copy text from any source like MS Word or other websites and paste it as plain text into the editor. This text is often formatted. I need plain text though. I have been using Shift+Ctrl+V for many years.

Aha, so that's for contenteditable.
I can use Shift+Ctrl+V just as expected in contenteditable though, could you give me a specific webpage that this had been working but not anymore?
This issue seems to be related to the CMS resp. the editor of this specific CMS I am using (NOT to Firefox). Shift+Ctrl+V works with other CMS. I am terribly sorry to have bothered you. I humbly withdraw my request.
