Hi.
There is no reason why a browser should access the clipboard
of the client.
It opens all kinds of attack vetors and likely privacy leaks.
See e.g. recent exploits[0].
I wouldn't be all to surprised if Mozilla would also allow
to read out the current clip board contents, which wold be a
really grave issue, as it could contain passwords, keys, etc.
There has been some recent media coverage[1] (this one in
German) about [0].
Cheers,
Chris.

Closing as wontfix, feature requests belong upstream rather than in the BTS.
Cheers,
