User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061004 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061004 Firefox/3.0

I tried (repeatedly) to copy a URL from the location bar by highlighting the whole URL and pressing Command-C, but when I pasted in another app, whatever was in the clipboard previously is what got pasted.  However, selecting Copy from the Edit menu successfully copied the URL to the clipboard.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Highlight URL in location bar
2.  Press Command C
3.  Try to paste it somewhere else.
Actual Results:  
Pasted what was in the clipboard before

Expected Results:  
Paste what I tried to copy

Copy from the menu works fine

Works fine for me.  Are you using any Firefox extensions?

No, I was not using any extensions.  I've restarted Firefox a few times since then, and now when I copy a URL with Command-C, it works fine.  When I was encountering the problem, it was 100% consistent.  This looks to be another one of those bugs where Firefox gets into a weird state, and since I don't know how to get into that state, we won't be able to identify the problem.

Oh well.

That's no fun.  If you figure out how to reproduce, please reopen or file a new bug report.
