Hansuk Hong
i always did
- export to png
- download to local
- and paste from that
but this save me!
(now it is under the "copy/paste as")

David Ventura thank you for sharing that! Firefox unfortunately doesn't have the same clipboard API support as other browsers.
As a workaround, you can go to
about:config
and set dom.events.asyncClipboard.clipboardItem = true
. You should see Copy to clipboard as PNG
in the right click menu after this. Would this work for you?David Ventura
Shin Kim: hey! yes, it works for me and it's great; would it be possible to add support for the old mechanism
clipboard.setImageData
when there is no asyncClipboard
support? I can open this as a separate feature request if that makes more senseShin Kim
David Ventura: I was just looking in to
clipboard.setImageData
this morning! However, it seemed that it was only available to Firefox extensions and not just any app. Do you know if this is not true? Would be great to use this API as long as it doesn't require a browser extension.

Hi David thank you for the feedback! Just making sure you're aware of the right click flow for "Copy to clipboard as PNG"? "Shift Option/Alt C" is also available as a keyboard shortcut.
