Detailed Description

 

In FireFox 8, it appears to no longer be possible to copy and paste text from a document.
Attached is a sample word document with formatted text. Please copy it and attempt to paste it into the Page Content field of any page in Sharepoint.
You should receive a "pasting" dialog box, and nothing will actually be pasted.
I you try to copy and paste text from NotePad it will work.
