Looking for fix paste problems
Hello,
I have a problem with copy and paste in firefox mobile on my galaxy S5 with Lolipop 5.0 Very often I can't paste copied stuff. Especially on Forums. This is really annoying. somtimes I can paste in the field for Tags but not above in the normal posting field.
Could you please fix this?
Thanks Best regards Marc

I understand that copy and paste is not working, however what steps are being tried and what is different from how it should work?
For example, are you using the default keyboard? Is the clipboard enabled?
Hi guigs,
normally it works, but on some forums, I can't paste in the answer field. I use the default Samsung keyboard on my Galaxy S5 with Lollipop 5.0. Clipboard enabled.
The menu just does not open like normal. For TAG fields or URL it works perfect, also in some forums, but not all.
I have problems with vBulletin 4.1.3 forums for example.
Thank you for the example! I am trying it on another site bc I do not have the paid version of that type of form. Is there anything special about that form that is different from a standard html form? I tried it on the support site on a Galaxy Note 3 and cannot select/paste. I can long tap in a form and the clipboard shows up.
Don't know if they changed something. The forum I have the problem is a closed beta forum. I made a screenshot of the html. Maybe it helps you.
Longtip in teh form does not open the clipboard. I am not sure, maybe its an Android Problem not Firefox?
Something like this woeuld preent editing from antoher device: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/826782/css-rule-to-disable-text-selection-highlighting But looking closer it looks like its a wyswig editor, and I think this would imply that there are restrictions on text type/style: http://gabesumner.com/copy-from-ms-word-paste-into-a-rich-...
However I am not sure how this would affect mobile. Have you tried to copy the stuff you are copying into a text or another app they copying it again? This is a longer process, but it might test the theory. At this point I would contact their support about it too!
