Hello I am currently trying to add a paste button in my site and I tried using Clipboard api to read the clipboard navigator.clipboard.readText() Eventhough it works on other browsers , but it doesn’t on Firefox . So does anyone know a way to get text in clipboard to webpage that is supported in Firefox?

In Firefox it doesn't work from website's javascript. Firefox only supports reading the clipboard in browser extensions, using the "clipboardRead" extension permission.
