Has anyone else noticed that copy / paste on Mac OS / Firefox has become unreliable some time in the last 5 years? I don’t know if it’s Firefox or Mac OS but I’ve started finding it copied the wrong thing or ignored a copy command.


pretty sure it's macOS. i don't use firefox but id say roughly 4/10 times i try to paste something i just copied, the clipboard is empty and i have to do the whole thing again.


I've had VirtualBox clipboard integration failing, and I've had Firefox refusing to let sites add things into the clipboard by Javascript.

But in my experience, local Crtl-C Ctrl-V is flawless on Linux / used to be X11, now Wayland / KDE / Firefox.


Your keyboard, or more specifically your Cmd key, is failing


On 2 MBPs and 2 USB keyboards? Unlikely.
