As reported on Reddit. This comment points out that setting clipboard.imageAsFile.enabled to true fixes the problem.

We should be careful not to regress bug 1854747 when fixing this (that bug is why we default clipboard.imageAsFile.enabled to false)

I should add that I'm not 100% sure we can fix this without breaking other things, but it's worth a shot.

Severity: -- → S3

Might be worth noting that this also applies to other image formats. I'm usually quite conscientious about compressing large images that I post on Discord out of consideration for mobile users, and I recently noticed that many JPEG's that I've copied and pasted from Firefox are all PNG's.

Does setting clipboard.imageAsFile.enabled to true have any drawbacks now that the related bug has been fixed? Or was defaulting it to false the fix itself?
