Phenomenon

When pasting table content (from Excel, Google Sheets, or HTML tables) into a contenteditable region in Firefox, the table structure is lost. The content may be pasted as plain text or lose its formatting.

Reproduction example

  1. Copy a table from Excel or Google Sheets.
  2. Create a contenteditable div.
  3. Paste the table content (Ctrl+V).
  4. Observe the structure of the pasted content.

Observed behavior

  • In Firefox on Windows, table structure is not preserved.
  • Table cells may be converted to plain text or lose their relationships.
  • Formatting (borders, colors, alignment) is lost.

Expected behavior

  • Tables should be pasted with their structure intact (<table>, <tr>, <td> elements).
  • Formatting should be preserved where possible.
  • Or, there should be a way to control how tables are pasted.
