That is useful.
I expected that you would try both commands when vim is unable to paste.
It would allow to discriminate whether it is Firefox or Vim issue.
I tried using those commands, but was getting confusing results. If and
when my Debian, X, Xfce, Terminal, and/or Vim misbehave again, I will
see if those commands produce any clues.
If I start Firefox, browse to https://www.toyota.com/dealers, select the
the first dealer contents, start Vim, press and release the
double-quote key, press and release the asterisk key, and press and
release the p key, Vim inserts a blank line.
What is the effect of ["], [+], [p] keystrokes?

or C-R* in insert mode.
I do not understand your notation:
C-R*
[Ctrl+R], [*] or [Ctrl+R], [+]
:help i_CTRL-R
In command mode:
* Pressing Ctrl+R causes the bottom line to say:
Already at newest change
* Pressing Ctrl+R then + causes the cursor to move down one line.
* Pressing Ctrl+R then * causes the bottom line to say:
search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP
In insert mode:
* Pressing Ctrl+R causes the following two characters to be inserted
into columns 53 and 54 of the bottom line:
^R
* Pressing Ctrl+R then + causes the two characters to be removed from
the bottom line
* Pressing Ctrl+R then * causes the two characters to be removed from
the bottom line
... Ctrl+Shift+V
I was trying to recommend against it, despite currently bracketed paste
is enabled by default in BASH.

Yuck.
I wonder if the https://www.toyota.com/dealers content I was attempting
to paste into Vim contained exploits (?). I have rebooted several
times; perhaps the effects were not persistent (?). Toyota's web site
is different today; perhaps Toyota removed the exploits (?).
I wonder if the following will display exploits (?):
$ xclip -o -selection PRIMARY
$ xclip -o -selection CLIPBOARD
I wonder if my Vim has blocked "+p and "*p as a means to protect against
clipboard attacks?
As to vim docs
:help gui-selection
:help quoteplus
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2024/02/msg00277.html
and for completeness
:help registers
It seems that I have been conflating the terms and concepts "buffer" and
"register".
Perhaps
:help user-manual
contains description as well
Vim has more features than I know or use.
