Paste works, but Copy does not
When I copy something to my clipboard I can paste it into Firefox. Into web pages and also into the URL bar.
But when I copy something in Firefox, it does not go to the clipboard. The clipboard still hast the content which was already there.
Also strange: When I cut text in a textarea, input element or the URL bar, the text is removed. But it is not sent to the clipboard. When I cut and paste, the text I get is what was previously in the clipboard.
What could be the cause? How can I debug this problem?

Interesting... All the clipboard talk sounds like an OS / Desktop issue to me.
What OS? What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?
Not able to replicate your issue. see screenshot
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240827 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.5-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5825U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 62.1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics Manufacturer: HP Product Name: HP ProBook 455 15.6 inch G9 Notebook PC
I agree, it looks like a Desktop issue. But copying from Chrome / Cromium and all other Applications works fine. Only copying from Firefox does not.
I am running Hyprland, Wayland, Arch.
Any suggestions how I can debug this?
You can try Firefox from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution to see if it behaves differently.
