Details

I have a problem with Firefox Beta 52. It doesn't happen on Firefox 28.
Sometimes Firefox doesn't correctly copy bookmarks.
It happens unpredictably, however, I noticed one specific scenario when it happens

1. Create new bookmark with name "g - google", url "https://www.google.com/webhp?q=%s", keyword "g"
2. Edit that bookmark: change name to "b - example.org", url to "http://example.org/query?b=%s", keyword to "b"
3. Select that bookmark in bookmarks sidebar, press Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+Z, then Ctrl+V

Result: bookmark "b - example.org" doesn't have keyword
Expected: bookmark "b - example.org" should have keyword "b"

This is a basic trick during text editing, and when you edit text (or other items supporting edit and Ctrl+Z/X/C) a lot, it becomes natural. The worst part of Firefox behavior is that it makes it look like old bookmark is correctly pasted from clipboard, but in fact that bookmark is broken (see above). I lost data several times because of this bug.
I think it's a duplicate of Bug 1343256.
