Try ShortPoint nowIn this article, we will show you the known issue with pasting the content from ShortPoint Demos or other SharePoint pages in Firefox browser.
Note: ShortPoint Page Builder Live Mode was formerly known as Visual Builder.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
This article is for you if
- You have to the ShortPoint SPFx version 8.0.x.xx or later.
- You use Office 365 (SharePoint Online) or SharePoint 2019 environment.
- You are a ShortPoint user with an active license.
- You use the Firefox browser.
Issue
After copying any page or section template from our Demos website or from other SharePoint pages, you cannot paste it to your SharePoint pages:
- In Live Mode, the Paste options will not be available.
- In Grid Mode you will see the Paste options (Paste Before, Paste After, and Paste Page if you have copied the whole demo page), but they are not working - no content will be pasted.
Reason
The Firefox browser uses different ways to handle the clipboard permissions. Pasting the external content is not allowed in Firefox, meaning that once you attempt to copy the content from the ShortPoint demos library or any other SharePoint page, Firefox will not allow you to paste it inside the current page. This is a limitation from the Firefox browser.
Note: You can check this open issue in Firefox bug tracker (BugZilla) for more details: Consider exposing clipboard.readText to web content.
Workaround
We may suggest you using other browsers (for example, Chrome browser) when you need to copy the demo templates or other pages. Once you are finished with the pasting, you can switch back to Firefox and continue your work.
Our team is working on other possible solution for the Firefox browser.
