The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Does dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled bring any benefit to disable it?

I'm not sure I understand your question, but for security and privacy reasons (I don't want sites to know when I copy or paste to them).
In particular, there's https://superuser.com/questions/1595994/dont-let-websites-overwrite-clipboard-in-firefox-without-explicitly-giving-perm
