    Google’s rejection of web standards and attempts to put in their own standards is half of what breaks shit anyway.

    I’m glad they’re working with the G Workspace team, but Holy Hell, it’s been clear for a long time that Google, the company, isn’t a friend to Firefox, even if individual developers are.

    They mainly pay for top search spot in Firefox as a bulwark against claims of monopolization.

    As of a couple of months ago, cut/paste didn’t work in Sheets using FF. Haven’t tried since but it’s a deal breaker for me. So I stay with Chrome.

      “Google broke functionality in other browsers because of their near monopoly status, so I stick with their near monopoly because its easier.”

      I mean, I’m sure Google is real glad you’ve chosen their browser spyware.

      Really? I’ve used Sheets in Firefox weekly for years and never noticed any major issues. I do a lot of copy paste, but not a lot of cut and paste, but I’m sure I would’ve noticed that.

      Could it be one of your extensions? Aside from some general slowness, I haven’t really had any issues with G Apps in Firefox.

        Can confirm. I use Google sheets and docs in Firefox daily and this is no longer an issue. Been fixed for a while now.

          It’s pasting with no formatting (Ctrl+Shift+V) that doesn’t work. Are you able to do that?
