Facebook "kind of" works in Firefox, but there's loads of subtle breakage: for example pasting anything in Messenger (with ctrl+v) breaks the entire site for me. Middle-click kind-of but kind-of-doesn't work, depending on planetary alignments or some such :-/

That's odd, and I'd be more inclined to blame a plugin than Firefox itself. I'm Firefox all day, every day, and my job revolves around Facebook, without that sort of issue.
I only have uBlock and disabling it makes no difference. It's been broken like this for at least ~6 months (possibly longer, but I don't use Facebook much).
What? I've been using Facebook in Firefox since IE6 stopped being cool, and it's always worked fine.
IE6 was cool?

(j/k - I do remember the years where it was actually alright, before it became the plague on the dev community it evolved into)

So you understand how long I've been using Firefox, then. :P

(And yeah, compared with Netscape 4, IE6 was great!)

The same happens to me in Chromium and Vivaldi - it looks like most (all?) currencies with postfix currency symbol are broken. Just press left arrow after entering a digit.
I will try it. Thanks.
Something's up with your install. I paste stuff in all the time without issue. I mean I paste a -lot- of memes and text with no issues.
