Behavior of toolbar button broken in WYSIWYG in the latest version of Firefox desktop

We use a WYSIWYG editor for adding and editing the content of some Web sites that support us. With the latest update of Firefox, toolbar buttons to clean up the contents of the Clipboard as RTF or plain in gray text when the cursor is placed inside the editable text box. This bug is not exposed in any other browser and does not appear in the previous version of Firefox.

MORE INFORMATION

  • Toolbar buttons do not disappear when the page is loaded; they can still be clicked to clean up the contents of the Clipboard until the cursor is placed inside the editable text box. While this will not break our editing experience if we could be guaranteed that our site editors have always been paste content into the empty text boxes, we cannot make that assumption. Therefore, the ability to place the cursor within the editable region before clicking on the toolbar buttons is essential and the disappearance of the buttons is a bug.
  • Listed above, this behavior has been isolated as being only present in the Firefox browser, and only on the latest version of Firefox. Is attached a screenshot of the correct behavior, toolbar buttons disappear not when you click on the area of editable text in Google Chrome.
  • When there are several areas of WYSIWYG text on one page, they are the object independently of the other. That is, clicking in grays only editable text one area on the buttons of the toolbar for this particular text box, and others remain clickable until the cursor is placed within their respective areas of editable text. Clicking outside an editable text area does not "restore" buttons to a clickable state. Once they dimmed, they seem to stay like that, unless and until the page is reloaded.
  • Other buttons on the toolbar, such as those to insert/remove the hyperlinks, or make the text bold or italic, are not affected by this bug.
  • Error was replicated on OSX Yosemite, El Capitan of OSX and Windows 7 Enterprise

Wow, you have a lot of scripts on this page... I see the behavior that you see, test on Windows. (By the way, I had to use HTTP instead of HTTPS.)

Edit: No errors appear in the browser Console to indicate a problem when clicking in the editing area, so disabling seems to be design in the editor, perhaps caused by a detection or object/property/method version detection problem.

Your version of CKEditor is quite old now, it seems to be from early 2013 3.6.6; This series had its last updated July 15, 2014 (3.6.6.2).

The current version is 4.5.4 and when I use the demo, the button works normally: http://ckeditor.com/demo

I don't know how to tease the difference and patch your current CKEditor. The ChangeLog mentions bugs for the gluing of the word several times: http://ckeditor.com/whatsnew

Can update you?
