So you mean mozilla doesN'T allow....

Hahahaha, yeah! :)  I doesN'T like this OS either, but it's what I'm forced to
work with.  Cutting and pasting being disallowed really sucks.

I can confirm that this happens with Remote Desktop Connection open. It is still
present in the recent FF 1.0 PR. No other application has this problem, this is
Mozilla specific :)
It not only affects Copy Link location but copy to clipboard from
Firefox/Mozilla in general.

I confirm and it doesn't work either with Firefox 1.0 final
I've submitted this bug to the firefox bugzilla:

fwiw, I couldn't find the original bug. Adding related/same bugs as dependencies.
bug 268053 seems to have a clean description.
