When I perform the same operation in Windows, FF pastes correctly formatted text. When I perform the same operation in OSX with Safari the text is pasted with the correct formatting. FireFox will copy/paste formatted text correctly IF THE TEXT IS COPIED FROM FIREFOX ITSELF. In otherwords FF will retain formatting on OSX only if the text is copied/pasted from the FF application. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a simple HTML document with a designMode enabled element (i.e. iframe) 2.Copy formatted text from a desktop application (i.e. Word, TextEdit) 3.Paste the text into the designMode enabled element. Actual Results: Text is pasted into FF but with no formatting. Expected Results: Text is pasted with copied formatting.
