I've never had this problem so can't tell for sure. But have you tried the solution in the very link you shared?
edit 2: It's frustrating an weird, apparently the true or false has no bearing on this, it's just randomly pasting and then not pasting So, to repeat, do you know a way to save my extensions config
I actually didn't bother to read everything. I thought since the chosen solution told me to reset it, I would have to reset it.
Weird, weird, weird
dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled is set to true and if it's set to true, I can't paste in whatsapp.
But, if it's set to false, I can paste. Exactly the opposite of the solution works for me.
Extensions either save their settings in the "cloud" or locally.
If you've got Firefox Sync setup, the ones which write to "cloud" will be automatically backed up for you.
Some extensions also offer to export your config to a file so that you can import it later.
It all varies by extension and impossible to tell w/o knowing which ones you're using.
That said, you can always safely experiment using a new profile w/o needing to delete the current one. Create a new profile (launch firefox using
firefox -P) and see if copy-paste works properly in there. If yes, then you can add your extensions one by one to the new profile w/o losing your settings.actually, it's working now, but I might try that when things turn south, again. Thank you btw!
