Copying Tables in Firefox 58.0 problem
Hello,
there is a huge problem with Firefox 58.0 version.
When I copy a table from a website into another, the table is copied in the wrong way, because everything is in one single row. All the columns are merged together and they are not taken into consideration.
The software used in the website I have the problem is Discuz!, but I guess the problem also appears with other softwares.
Attached is the comparison of right (up to Firefox 57.0.4) and wrong (Firefox 58.0)
I hope this problem can be fixed as soon as possible otherwise I will not be able to update Firefox anymore.
Thank you,

Try to copy a table from any website (for example from this link: https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/results.html?sector=AL&raceid=90995 )
into a Discuz! forum. For example here: http://codersclub.org/discuzx/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=108 (but you need an account to be able to post there).
Any idea if this can be fixed in the next Firefox releases?
Thanks,

I remember that the same problem happened some years ago, until Firefox v. 14.0.1 and then disappeared from version 15.0 on, until version 57.0.4 included.
Also, if you want to test yourself, I created a test account in my website, you can login with it and try youself.
Go here and login: http://results.totallympics.com/forum.php?mod=post&action=newthread&fid=37
Username: test password: test123
Now open this link in another tab and copy the table (whole table or just some cells, it's not important): https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/results.html?sector=NK&raceid=2189
You will get the problem with Firefox 58.0. With all the previous versions of Firefox (between version 15 and 57) the table was copied correctly in the box.
Let me know if I can help you with some more information.
Thank you!

I'm not seeing the issue you posted.
Where are you pasting this content?
Is it wrong in both cases (plain text area and rich text with HTML code)?

I am pasting the content in the text area box, as I have always done.
With the 58.0 version, the table is still copied in the box, but everything is on one single row.
So for example if I copy a table made of 3 rows and 3 columns, when I paste it in the text area I get a table with 9 columns and 1 row, instead of 3 rows and 3 columns.
