This is a issue of mine started around a year ago and still ongoing for me:
- Firefox Android 130.0.1 (But started a year ago so older also affected)
- LineageOS 21.x (but earlier as well)
1. In Firefox or any other app longtap on a word/URL or so
2. Tap copy
3. Go to either a webseite with an input area or open a new tab in Firefox
4. Longtap in an input area / adressbar in the new tab
5. No menu for choosing "paste" appears (basically there is just no menu, nothing happens)
Same still works in any other application / browser (even with the content copied in step 2) so only Firefox on Android specific.
Anyone noticed the same / knows a solution (not sure if better placed to Support)?
Also only found the following but seems not exactly the same:

Found these without any real solution:
- https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/1367
- https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bav0r2/cant_paste_with_firefox_mobile/
Current workaround is to use separate Keyboard like HeliBoard which has an own clipboard / paste functionality.
