This is probably just a manifestation of the old bug where we try to process clipboard requests synchronously. If the data transfer takes an unusual amount of time (e.g., because of an unresponsive source app, or network lag), Firefox will freeze until it completes. That will hopefully improve as part of the effort to implement the asynchronous web clipboard API.
