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.
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
... Ctrl+Shift+V
I was trying to recommend against it, despite currently bracketed paste
is enabled by default in BASH.

As to vim docs
:help gui-selection
:help quoteplus
and for completeness
:help registers
Perhaps
:help user-manual
contains description as well
