Actual results: Tried pasting, no longer can paste after I closed the youtube tab. Expected results: If I click "copy" the clipboard content should be able to be pasted on any environment regardless of the lifetime of the tab from which the contents were copied.

What happens in a new profile? https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles If the problem persists, what Linux distribution and desktop environment are you using?

Hmm, the problem no longer persists, even without creating a new profile. I am using Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca with Cinnamon desktop environment. Thank you for your time.
