Cannot paste images from clipboard into Outlook emails.
I have recently migrated to Firefox from Chrome.
I cannot paste images (screenshots) directly into my Outlook emails.
I can insert a picture file but this is way less convenient than taking a screenshot via the Snipping Tool and pasting directly into my emails.
I cannot find any setting or configuration that would enable this functionality.
This functionality sure worked in that other browser.

Is the Snipping Tool different than pressing the PrtScn button and then making a rectangle on the screen? When I use the button method, I can paste into the message body when composing a new message on
https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/
I think the Microsoft 365 version should work the same way.
Do you know whether you have made any settings changes related to the clipboard, for example, by going into about:config or by setting up a user.js file?
I use Outlook.live, as well. That is why I am using Firefox and not the 365 client.
Yes, the Snipping Tool and Print Screen are the same thing. My PS key is mapped to the Snipping Tool. See the "Use to Print screen key to open screen capture" setting under Assessibility > Keyboard.
I just tested this again. My screen captures pastes into Paint, Excel and Word just fine. Still nothing happens via Firefox in Outlook Live.
More testing...
Neither Chrome nor Firefox allows a Ctrl-V paste. You must bring up the Paste menu via a right-click. The Firefox menu does not display a "Paste as image" option, as does Chrome. See attached files. In Chrome, both the Paste and "Paste as image" options result in a correct paste of the screenshot. Not so much in Firefox.
Further, I know nothing about "about:config or by setting up a user.js". I have never wittingly changed or created those things. Regardless, Chrome works with my current configuration and Firefox doesn't.
Finally, Firefox has been great so far. I feel much more secure. I ain't goin' back!
I didn't think to mention that I tested using Ctrl+v. The site doesn't do anything when you click in the message and press Ctrl+v?
Firefox recently started allowing sites to grab images off the clipboard using a script. In that scenario, you will see a floating Paste button, which really means "Grant permission for this site to read off the clipboard." When I right-click in the message body, I see the attached:
That button is triggered by the site checking for permission to paste, so it could appear before the site's right-click context menu, or at the same time, or after you select an action. Can you see it somewhere?
