The problem is with the keyboard shortcuts --

Keyboard paste: Ctrl+V (on Mac, Command+V)
Keyboard paste as plain text: Ctrl+Shift+V (on Mac, Command+Shift+V)

To try to determine whether this is more of a keyboard shortcut issue or a more general pasting issue, have you tried other methods such as:

Site's custom context menu (right-click)
Firefox's context menu (Shift+right-click to override site's custom menu)
Optional Cut/Copy/Paste toolbar buttons (use Firefox's Customize feature to add these buttons if you like: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars)

You might want to post this problem on the Mozilla Support site. They have a team of support volunteers to troubleshoot malfunctions with your currently installed version of Firefox, while this site is focused on idea submissions for future versions of Firefox (looking ahead anywhere from 8 weeks to many months).
