In Twitter, when I use the Copy link to Tweet button and then try to paste the link to share in Gmail it fails to show (it is there, but invisible). If I copy the link into another document and then redo cut and paste into Gmail it works OK. It is Firefox specific and something to do with the ?s=20 part of the link... if I change the 20 to 21 then it works fine. And if I copy the link in Edge it works fine. Can anyone help? Thanks

How do you copy it with Ctrl s or with Save? Do you have any settings (blocked cookies etc.)? Also check the user settings in Gmail and twitter.

Hi - thanks for the reply I click the link and it is copied in Firefox to clipboard. I would need more specifics on which settings you suspect, but there are no out-of-the-ordinary changes in either Gmail or Twitter. When I copy a link to clipboard in Edge it works in Gmail; when I do the same in Firefox the link doesn't show (ie - I get a big space where the link should be)
