Steps to reproduce:

Running on Fedora 35, Firefox 93.0, Build ID 20211007232822, from the Fedora repos on GNOME 41.0 with Wayland.

  1. Go to about:config
  2. Set gfx.webrender.all to true

Actual results:

Nothing gets pasted, the clipboard behaves as if it's empty

Expected results:

The selected text/image gets pasted

You don't need to set gfx.webrender.all to true to get WebRender - it's on by default. But I wonder how it's related to clipboard.
Can you try to set widget.wayland.async-clipboard.enabled to false at about:config, restart browser and check if clipboard works?
Thanks.

Hello
Sorry for the delayed response, I was away from my PC for a while.

I have updated my packages earlier today and am no longer able to reproduce the original buggy behaviour.
I noticed that Firefox got updated to version 94, so I downloaded Firefox 93 binaries to try to reproduce the behaviour on that version, but even then I wasn't able to.

I suspect that some other component caused the original issue, and maybe by updating it went away (e.g. Gnome got bumped to 41.1, so maybe it was an issue on that side, but that's just a guess).

Okay, Thanks.
