Details

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1531539 +++

This is basically the same as bug 1531539 but for cut and paste.

Currently we use an instanceId to determine if data is coming from the same instance of Firefox. However, WebExtensions can't get access to this data. This avoids expensive database lookups.

To replace this, we need a way for the clipboard to tell us if the running instance we're in owns the clipboard or not - I've filed bug 1543954 to request that.

Once we have the flag in the clipboard, we should be able to remove the instanceId checks altogether.
