and work Y (for example starting a program) or anything that requires you to
click into the Remote Desktop Window of Y, the copy of adresses from the adress
bar of firefox won't work on X . It won't copy anything, even if firefox is
restarted.

Quit the Remote Desktop client
It will work again, without habving to restart Firefox.
