This is useful when copying data from phpmyadmin for example. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select data in a HTML table 2. Copy 3. Paste into Excel Actual Results: All data are pasted into a single cell. Expected Results: The table should appear correctly in Excel. (it works that way when copying data from Chrome) When copy/pasting from Firefox to Notepad++, then from Notepad++ to Excel 2007, the data is correctly interpreted by Excel and the table is correctly pasted.

Can you provide and attach a Testcase showing the Issue? Did it work with past Firefox Versions? If yes, what is the last one?

I did some more tests with the following page Http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp Copy the table (bananas, apple, etc) Firefox 3.6.14 / Excel 2010 / Windows 7 x64 -> works, paste ok, keeps table & cells' style Firefox 3.6.14 / Excel 2007 / Windows 7 x86 -> incorrect paste (everything is pasted into one cell) paste to notepad, then copy/paste from notepad to Excel 2007 -> works, but does not keep table or cells' style Firefox 4b12 / Excel 2007 / Windows 7 x64 -> incorrect paste (everything is pasted into one cell) paste to notepad, then copy/paste from notepad to Excel 2007 -> works, but does not keep table or cells' style Those tests seem to show that the problem lies into Excel 2007... BUT : Chrome 9.0 / Excel 2007 / Windows 7 x64 -> works, paste ok, keeps table & cells' style

Is Firefox 4 + Excel 2010 okay too?

Also: Firefox 3.6.14 / Excel 2003 SP3 / Windows XP SP3 -> incorrect paste (everything is pasted into one cell) paste to notepad, then copy/paste from notepad to Excel 2003 -> works, but does not keep table or cells' style

This reproduces in FireFox 4b12. Go to about:support, select the Hardware Acceleration table at the bottom, press Ctrl+C, open Notepad, press Ctrl+V - One line of text with no spaces between the cells/new lines between the rows.

The attached html file shows the results of a copy & paste using firefox/ms word and internet explorer/ms word. The data source (web page) is http://finance.yahoo.com/; specifically: the first line (Dow) of the US MARKET SUMMARY. The attached file shows the results for Word although I first noticed the issue (as already reported) in MS Excel. As already indicated, it appears that Firefox copies the data as a single character string, whereas Explorer copies it as 1 row x 4 cell tables.

Firefox Nightly / Excel 2010 / Windows 7 x64 - incorrect paste (everything is pasted into one cell).

A good testcase is about:support - just try to select any table (hold CTRL when selecting it).

I provided a patch for this in Bug 137450. Marking this as a duplicate.

Note: For "Cell style" which is talked about after the original report was posted, if I don't find any duplicates of cell style already I'll post a new clean ticket specifically for that.

Cell style comments are covered in Bug 237546
