This is probably a duplicate of bug 1853579.

I can also reproduce this issue intermittently so marking as NEW

Comment 3

[Yani]

Could be related. Definitely turning uBlock off enables copy on a few pages I've tried. But it I turn uBlock back on and refresh the page, copy is enabled. I'll do some checks in safe mode.

Comment 4

Didn't appear to be an issue in safe mode and when I booted back to normal with uBlock on it didn't appear to be an issue either. It's either been resolved by an update or has some other issue that triggers it.

There have always been some pages that couldn't be copied except in reader view. It "feels like" the process that engages that is wrongly engaged.
