From the macOS Finder, copy multiple files by pressing Cmd + C 3. Press Cmd + V on the web page from step #1 Actual results: The event.clipboardData.files / event.clipboardData.items does not contain any information about the files. Expected results: There should be an individual entry per file in event.clipboardData.files / event.clipboardData.items for the "paste" event.

This is somewhat similar to the issue described here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=864052 but the behavior has changed since the original report (or has always been different on macOS), as pasting multiple files no longer displays info for the first file. Behavior in other browsers: * Chrome 60 acknowledges only the last file from the ones copied. * Safari 10.1 contains individual entries per file.
Priority: -- → P3

Please note the diagnostic page has moved to: https://evercoder.github.io/clipboard-inspector/

The issue still reproduces in Firefox 88.0.1 / macOS.

Basically a duplicate Bug 1699743 / Bug 1308007.

This issue has been marked as a duplicate of #1699743, a fix for which was recently included in Firefox 116: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1699743

However, pasting multiple files from the OS in Firefox 116.0.3 / macOS 13.4.1 is still not supported. Only the first file is picked up.
