Details

We introduced a AppErrorBoundary component (in bug 1660435) that allows the user to file a bug report if a panel (e.g. the Network panel) crashes.

This componet renders an error message + a stack trace that are auto copied into the new bug report if the user clicks "File Bug Report". However, the crash might happen in a dev profile where the user isn't logged in Bugzilla (and don't want to use credential in such profile). So, it would be useful if the component also offers "Copy Data" (or better label) allowing the user to copy the error message and the stack trace into the clipboard. The user can consequently manually file a bug and copy the data.

Note that selection the text in the UI and copying it to the clipboard inserts an empty line after every line of the data (tested on Win10), which is another barier for users to file useful bugs.
