Firefox 3 supports the paste event, but minimally. FF3 (idk about FF 3.6+)
fires the cut, copy, and paste events whenever these actions are inputted by
the user, it does not check to see that something has actually been cut,
copied, or pasted, it simply fire the event unceremoniously, and for most
purposes, quite uselessly. Getting a good paste listener is going to require
some sort of plugin, I doubt very much that jQuery has reliable native
support. There might be something to having a change and keydown listener on
the element and comparing the results to see what has changed.
