Cannot paste html link into ebay's html edit box using FF 24.0 on Kubuntu 12.04 - the link destination is displayed instead.

In chromium and rekonq under Kubuntu 12.04, in all browsers including FF 24.0 under Windows 7 64bit, ebay's html editor (found by clicking the 'HTML' tab beside the 'Standard' tab in the 'Add a description' section of the 'Edit your listing' page) works as expected. For example pasting a photobucket HTML link to a picture pastes the link as text into the editor. With FF 24.0 under Kubuntu 12.04 the picture is displayed, i.e. the link is acted upon.

However, nothing is actually pasted, the image is displayed but nothing is changed in the html itself. Exiting the html edit box and returning to it shows the content unchanged.

Pasting the link into the Standard editor works as expected: the picture appears in the wysiwg editor and switching to the html editor shows the html link has been added.

Editing within the html editor works as it should, only links pasted from an external source are acted upon instead of being pasted in.

Correction: this is not a FF problem. Links pasted from another tab in the same FF instance behave correctly. The problem is caused by pasting links from an external source. I cannot see why links from external sources paste correctly in other browsers but life's too short to investigate that.
