I am not able to reproduce the issue on Mac 14.1 using Firefox build 121.0, text is correctly copied to default "clipboard" application (Go to Finder ->menu->edit->Show clipboard).
Varvello, does this issue still reproduce with a new and empty profile? See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_6-create-a-new-firefox-profile? Thank you.

Hi Monica,
Yes the text is correctly copied to default "clipboard" application, but it is not copied in any "clipboard manager" app. If you try Jumpcut or any other clipboard manager (see here https://beebom.com/5-free-clipboard-managers-mac/) you'll see the text is not copied on the clipboard manager.

TIA
Davide

I was not able to reproduce the issue on Mac 14.1 using Firefox build 121.0, text is correctly copied to 'flycut' and 'paste' applications.

Thanks Monica for your reply,

I created an empty profile and everything is working. So I restarted the default profile with all extensions disabled but unfortunately it does not work. :-(
I've to investigate more

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi,
Eventually I created a brand new profile and copy and paste was working also on my clipboard manager.

OK. It looks like this isn't actionable with the information available.
