It may have to do with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1273836, but I think it also has to do with the fact that the html is in a table. If you do a "paste without formatting" (cmd+shift+v on Mac), I think it resolves the issue. I know that's a bit annoying, but can you give that a try to see if it eliminates the problem?
Hm, this shortcut does not seem to exist in TextEdit, Firefox or Visual Studio Code?

It's not listed in the menu, but it definitely works for me on Mac in Firefox.
Where do you paste with this shortcut? It has no effect in Slack for me, but pasting some lines in Slack directly creates a code block without newlines, huh (= it works as intended). Now if I open a code block and paste content, I get newlines... (with or without the shortcut above).

It works for me in both Gmail and Google Docs. I guess YMMV, depending on where you are pasting it.
I am mostly pasting into Slack in Firefox and Visual Studio Code.
I tried pasting into VS Code and I cannot reproduce the issue. It doesn't add any line breaks for me. What OS are you on, and can you give me a link to a particular file that I can use to try to reproduce?

Which content are you copying?
MacOS, any content in pretty much any browse pages.

Ah, I was using the Compare page. For some reason I thought that was what was being described. I can reproduce with the Browse page. 😞
It's a bit odd that it's not a problem with the Compare page yet it is a problem with the Browse page, as both pages use a table. It's worth digging into a bit more.
