Default 'Paste as plain text' missing under Firefox

I always found this handy versus simply pasting the HTML content since the formatting can get thrown off quite a bit, however when copying and right clicking within FF, you don't see this as an option. It does appear under Chrome.

Please see side by side screen shots below, Chrome on the left:


Is there a setting within FF I'm missing? Both are latest versions. Thanks.

For Firefox support you might try Mozilla, who developed Firefox:
https://www.mozilla.org

This is not a CorvetteForum setting and CorvetteForum has no control over this feature. I use Firefox and don't recall it having that option in the menu. I suppose it could be possibly through a plugin. Again, you'll have to check with Mozilla since it's their product.

Thanks. Wasn't sure if this was something enabled within CF VB settings, but apparently CTRL-SHIFT-V will paste without formatting, vs. CTRL-V for pasting formatted text.

Not sure why there's no menu option like Chrome but it might require an extension to enable as a context menu option.
