Description

[Clara Guerrero ( Need Info Brindusa Tot Please)]

[Affected versions]
Release 77.0 (64-bit)
Beta 78.0b5 (64-bit) (64-bit)
Firefox Nightly 79.0a1 (2020-06-10) (32-bit)

[Affected platforms]
( macOS 10.14 (Mojave))

[Steps to reproduce]

1- Launch the Firefox Browser and open https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets or https://www.office.com/launch/excel
2- Open installed app (in my case LibreOffice)
3- Create a table in online editor spreadsheet and make sure to include merged cells in the table.
3- Select table and copy
4- Paste it in the installed app

[Expected result]
FF should keep the table's format when pasting into an installed app.

[Actual result]
Copying merged cells from online editor to libreoffice is not pasting correctly. The first row is displayed ok, and then the row below is "moved" one column to the right (merging first and second column) , the third row is moved two columns to the right (merging all first cells) and so on, the table does not look aligned.

Note this also happens in chrome (only when creating a table from scratch)
Also, copying from libreoffice to online editor is pasting correctly
