I can't explain why the following cut 'n paste problem happens when I select some symbols within text in Firefox and then try to insert by middle-click in LibreOffice Calc.
If I select the symbols for £ (GBP), or € (Euro) and middle click upon a cell
in LOCalc, a window pops up asking "Select the Language to Use for Import". I
leave it to "Automatic" which is the default setting and the symbol plus any
text is pasted with the same format as the webpage. The symbols are then
displayed correctly in LOCalc.
However, if I enter a cell by double clicking on it, or by clicking in the
edit bar, then middle click to enter the selection, both £ and € symbols are
entered in some strange code - e.g. \u20ac
Other browsers do not exhibit this behaviour. Firefox has been installed with

Any idea why this is happening and how I could fix it?
