edit: Yeah, the problem has worsened.

So yeah, I wanted to paste a video on chatbox of a friend on Whatsapp web but I wasn’t able to. When I tried to find a solution for it, I found this (Mozilla forums link) and it says, I have to reset my firefox browser. Now, my firefox is pretty customized, is there a way to save the extensions I have downloaded and their settings before I purge everything basically?

I use Linux btw, but, this is not Distro specific. If you follow the forums link, you would see that that guy was using some shitty distro called Windows 10

PS: I love firefox and can never bring myself to use Chrome, but this has been a utter waste of time and I wish I didn’t have to do this. This wasted a lot of time.

dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled

    Happened to me today. I used the DontFuckWithPaste extension and added WhatsApp web to it. Worked then.

    However when I then tried to paste an image it didn’t work so I had to disable it for that.

    An annoying workaround but it’s something.

      somewhat very similar happened to me, except for the extension part. I mean, it worked on and off and sometimes image paste and text paste both would work and somtimes only one would work.

      It was somewhat related to state of dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled
