Cannot cut/copy/paste to/from Google Sheets in Firefox 32.0.2 or prior versions. Per Google Apps tech support:

"[Tech Support] just did a research and it seems Firefox does not support some Sheets features like edit menu."

"...as you may know Firefox is not a program [Google] developed, we have reported this issue to [Mozilla] because only they can change the code of the browser to make it compatible. Unfortunately, there is not much can do about it, instead we recommend you to use Google Chrome since all the features are 100% compatible. "

So Google is point the finger at Mozilla. Is there something to be done to make clipboard commands work on Google Sheets in Firefox?
