Description

[Marcos Pinto]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.0.7 (Ubuntu package 1.0.7)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.0.7 (Ubuntu package 1.0.7)

gnome 2.12 has clipboard management so that if you copy something from an app,
then close the app, it'll still be in the clipboard for you to paste elsewhere.
 although this works with plenty of other applications (gedit, evolution, etc),
it does not work with firefox.  if you copy something from within firefox, then
close firefox and try to paste it somewhere else, the clipboard will be blank
and there'll be nothing to paste.  



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.copy any text from within firefox
2.close firefox
3.try to paste somewhere

Actual Results:  
there is nothing to paste

Expected Results:  
it should've pasted what you copied.
