I need to constantly copy/paste in my job -- quickly, I do online support -- and the latest version seems to have disabled the right click copy/paste menu. It either doesn't do it at all, or it pastes only the last word. I have to paste single sentences out of other paragraphs, or copy URLs. What's up with the functionality not working? It is a serious problem. I've used firefox happily and almost exclusively for years, but if this continues, I'll have to go to another browser. Fix the problem so copy/paste using the right click menu works for any amount of text from any source.

Is your issue on a work computer or personal? Have you tried the same steps with Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf
