I use Password Gorilla for my password wallet. Simply select the desired entry in the wallet and ctl-p to put the selected password on the past-board then click the password field on the web site and ctl-v. It usually works great but but every now and then ctl-v fails to past. It may not be a Firefox thing but it's most annoying with a 14 character computer generated password. Any ideas other than using 1234 as a password?

There's an extension that may help: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/don-t-**bleep**-with-paste/
This attempts to combat websites that hijack Ctrl-V to prevent you pasting. (Some websites seem to do this with password fields, due to some very misguided security thinking.)
However, I did find the extension interfered with some other sites, so I have it disabled by default.
Alternatively (I haven't tried it personally), you can set site permissions so as to prevent overriding of your keyboard shortcuts: https://superuser.com/a/1317514
