Extremely bad Clipboard concept
There's one thing with the clipboard that really wasn't well thought AT ALL. Why does firefox erase its clipboard when it closes ? Did you guys think about people copy/pasting something from the net to their word processor ? Or like what happened to me a few seconds ago, you're writing a mail for like an hour, then you copy the whole thing to the clipboard in case Firefox crashes, as it does a lot recently... Then as expected firefox crashes, and of course you lose all your clipboard content. Doesn't happen with other browser or software.

Clearing the clipboard when Firefox closes is a security feature.
You really need to do a bit of troubleshooting to find out what is causing Firefox to crash, and fix the issue.
Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
- Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
- Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.
Thanks in advance for your help!
More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.
