I am operating Office 365 email on Windows 10.
When I compose an email, the program will allow me to right click and copy words. But it will not allow me to right click and paste words. It gives me only the option to paste an emoji.
I also cannot find the paste icon at the top of Microsoft 365 to use that function.
I tried to upload a screenshot but it won't go through.

Summary:
Type about:config in Firefox address bar. Press enter key and accept the risk.
Search for clipboard and change the following 3 settings to True
Refresh your outlook mailbox. You should now be able to paste.
