It's not a Photoshop bug; the browser or OS is adding black color to transparency. Photoshop is receiving the image you see from the clipboard. Try pasting it into another application to confirm.

What is the file format of the image?

I assume Firefox offers an option to »Save Image As …« (or similar) – do images downloaded thusly open with the expected appearance?

i've tried this on another browser, Opera GX, and it worked fine, so it's just an issue with Firefox. however i've copied images from Firefox previously, and it worked fine then.
