I did some experiments. I can highlight a portion of a line, and that 
can be pasted in another window. Highlight anything more than a line, 
nothing gets pasted. I tested this on multiple sites, so it's not a 
single site playing games with me. Copy/paste does not work either via 
the mouse middle button click, nor right click's copy popup menu, nor 
the main menu's Edit/Copy/


So, what's broken:

1. Something here.
2. Firefox.


try pasting to leafpad first, then recopying from leafpad
to where you want to go.

# ndf install leafpad


Oops.  dnf  not ndf

It is a known issue. Don't have the link now but it doesn't aways happen.

When it does, a "workaround" is to click on the URL bar and then try
right-clicking again for the copy...

It turned out to be xfce4-terminal, and not Firefox.

There was a recent xfce4-terminal rpm update.

… and another update just landed, with a helpful "Fix clipboard handling"  
changelog…

I am facing similar (the same?) problems.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find as deterministic reproducer.

/me thinks, something is broken in firefox.
