Copy-paste from LastPass Extension in Firefox through AnyDesk pastes nothing
This is almost surely a "security" or "privacy" design, but it's an error. In Firefox - only (this works fine in Chrome) - if I open the LastPass Firefox Extension, find a Site, and Copy the password, then go directly to an open AnyDesk remote access connection, and Paste (or, lightning bolt menu, Insert from Clipboard), what gets pasted is a single wrong character, NOT the password that IS in the clipboard. (If I paste instead into e.g. a local Notepad window, the actual password gets pasted). I asked AnyDesk support about this, and they confirmed that it's something that Firefox is doing. It shouldn't. Copy is copy. Paste is paste. Why would Firefox do something so that copied text (which just happens to be a password from a password vault extension) pastes wrong when the destination just happens to be a remote desktop client (AnyDesk) to send the password through to complete a login at the remote end? Anyway, how to turn off this wrong behaviour? thank you. (Windows 11 Pro, 64-bit, 23H2, Firefox current - 125.something today, but this has been going on for some weeks at least, AnyDesk version 8 current)

It could be that Firefox doesn't allow to paste this specific clipboard data because of security reasons.
I don't see how this (Cloud not-clipboard format) would be related. AnyDesk is a locally running application. The fact that what it does with a locally pasted bit of content is send it over a network connection to a remotely controlled system should have nothing to do with whether the locally copied item would be made available *by Windows* via 'cloud'. Anyway, 1. how can we test/ be sure, and: 2. how can I turn this off at least to test if that's what's really doing it? thank you,
