For me - works on Chrome 35 fine, not on Firefox 30: (I'm on Ubuntu). FF fails in all of 'New issue', 'add to existing issue'. 'add to Wiki'

Firefox (and IE) does not manage the clipboard in the same way, so it is not possible to do everything Webkit-based browsers can do for the moment.

I have pushed a fix that allows copy-pasting images in Firefox (and possibly IE, I have not tested) from web-browsers. It is not possible, however, to copy-paste from a local file, as Firefox only allows to get a link to the copied image, not the data like Chrome does.

Tomoz, to be super sure we understand your comment:

I have pushed a fix that allows copy-pasting images in Firefox ... I assume this means ' copy-pasting from clipboard of an image saved there'.

It is not possible, however, to copy-paste from a local file ...

Which is not about using the clipboard.

Shout if this understanding is wrong :<)

If there are some parts that remains unclear, please ask.

is possible in Firefox if the original file can be accessed

what is the 'original file' here?

Because the whole point of this plugin, is that you don't have to start with a file of an image, you start with just a clipboard image from e.g. a screenshot.

Maybe you mean: "Firefox does allow a less useful alternative: to take an image file that already exists (ie not from your clipboard) , and to paste that into Redmine - but only if the original file can be directly accessed by an HTTP request"

Yep, that's it. Firefox doesn't allow access to raw data in the clipboard for security reasons. I understand that this is less interesting but that's all we can do for the moment.
