There was a regression on Whatsapp side two weeks ago, and then a fix was deployed. See bug 1849150 comment 13 for some details.

Jan, you've looked at copying. Do you have an idea what could be happening?

I've only looked into clipboard stuff very briefly. Edgar is the expert in that territory. I'm happy to follow along and learn though. :)

I cannot reproduce this in Whatsapp version 2.2337.7 on either Firefox 117.0 and Firefox Nightly (2023-09-11).
Could you please try again with the latest whatwapp version? Thanks!

This hasn't been fixed yet? I still have this issue. Can't copy/paste data into Whatsapp outside of its dedicated send feature/buttons.
W10 22H2 19045.3930 // Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0
Have tried toying with dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled but that hasn't helped, it's set to false for me right now.

What is the value of the clipboard.imageAsFile.enabled preference on your side? Does set clipboard.imageAsFile.enabled to false help? Thanks!

It did nothing but it actually was dom.eventclipboardevents.enabled set to false. I thought i cycled through its settings before commenting, something i had changed back when you couldn't paste text into whatsapp anymore a while back, but i was wrong, maybe i didn't restart the browser and just refreshed the page inbetween tests?
Anyway, turning it back to true brought back image pasting. So to finalise, right now with dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled on the default value, TRUE, and clipboard.imageAsFile.enabled set to the default TRUE, everything seems fine.
Sorry to have bumped this, should have just fully restarted my browser inbetween changes.

With Firefox 136 I cannot paste images in Telegram neither Whatsapp Web.
It doesn´t work either in private mode.

In my case it was too having disabled the clipboard.imageAsFile.enabled setting.

Hi David,
Thank you for reporting this.
Could you please provide the following details to help us investigate the issue further:
- Which versions of Telegram and WhatsApp are you currently using?
- What operating system (including version) are you using?
- Have you tried setting
clipboard.imageAsFile.enabledtotrue? If so, did it resolve the issue?
