Under Linux there are 2 "clipboard", one is that provided by applications using
control-c/control-v. Another is the "selection" provided by x-window
infra-structure that should be available in all x-window applications unless
overrided. In this mode you just use the mouse to select a region, no need to
right-click or press any key. Then position the mouse pointer to another
application's window and then press the middle button to paste the selection. I
guess all linux gui applications are x-window based so that it should work for you.

It works fine for me.
You may try using x-window selection: use mouse to highlight
the block you want, no need to press control-c. Then on
firefox, paste by pressing the middle button on mouse.
It does not matter how I copy text in the J windowed console, except that I
cannot use right-button clipboard actions. I get no right-button menu when in
the J window.
I can copy using control-c, the menu item, or wdclipwrite. Regardess, Firefox
indicates that the clipboard is empty. Other programs show the clipboard as
containing what I copied or cut while in J. If I take text from one of those
applications, instead, Firefox finds the clipboard contents as expected.
