Hi,
Since the latest update of Mozilla Firefox (148.0), the "Paste as Plain Text" button no longer works. The window for pasting text no longer opens, and the pasted text keeps its formatting.
Do you have a solution to this problem?

In previous versions of Firefox, calling execCommand('paste') - which JCE uses internally to trigger the paste dialog - would silently return false, allowing JCE to handle the paste action itself with its own dialog. In Firefox 148, this behaviour changed: the browser now intercepts the call and displays its own native paste prompt instead, which interferes with JCE's paste handling. This has been fixed in the update below by always showing the Paste dialog for all browsers when clicking either of the Paste buttons.
Please try JCE Pro 2.9.99.1 Beta 1 - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/editor/pro/development
Clear your browser cache after install.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.
