Images double-pasting when composing gmail message

Starting on Sunday 3/21, pasting an image into a gmail message in Windows 10 from Firefox 86.0.1 double pastes it. Two images, not one. Pasting text results in a single paste, as would be expected. What's wrong with image pasting?

Appears to only happen in Firefox. Tried with Edge and composition worked fine.

I found that high-lighting an Image -- (NOTE: "jpg" -- ====> NOT ".png") and then COPY, followed by a PASTE into Gmail produces the correct ONE image.-

However, if the Image is ".png", and I move cursor OVER the Image, then Right-Click, select COPY Image and then go to Gmail and issue either a CTRL+V or PASTE, I get 2 images.

i am also having the same problem. i have been pasting screenshots from the windows snipping tool. i don't know the exact date but it was recently and seems to coincide with the 3/21 date mentioned when i started getting two images pasted instead of one image. at first i thought it was my internet connection, but the issue still persists.

my theme is on the default theme. i've tried clearing the cache and rebooting in safe mode.
