Copy and paste from Firefox to MS Word outline view?

Until recently I have been able to copy from a Firefox web page and paste into a Word file in outline view without losing or obscuring any of the text, but now when I do this the text is truncated toward the ends of lines--e.g., the instructions from this Firefox help page will be rendered “Be descriptive. Saying "Playing video…” in outline view, but correctly in web layout view.

This is a major issue for me since I use outline view while planning a project because I need to sort blocks of info. Thanks for any suggestions. TC

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
