Steps to reproduce:

Tried to quote a Wikipedia article on another page.

Actual results:

Copy and paste ended up with extra formatting, such as wikilinks. No option to copy as plain text in right-click menu or top menu. No option to paste as plain text either. Command-shift-v did nothing.

Expected results:

An option to copy as plain text, an option to paste as plain text, and the standard keyboard shortcuts.

Also tested command-option-shift-v, following bug 599769.

Neither version works. Both would work with Sticky Keys, but using 4 keys instead of 3 keys makes things a bit more awkward.

Moving over this feature/enhancement request to its component. Although this seems like a duplicate of Bug 1718929, that issue does not have any dev update for some time.

As of FF 102, there still seems to be no way to paste as plain text in Firefox. This is quite annoying when writing comments in GitHub, since it recently started "understanding" links in pasted text, and that is not always the intended behavior.
