I think it means "Copy Link Location", and it should be so labelled. Paste can paste into both the name and the link: that really isn't clear. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

No, it actually copies the complete Bookmark entry. You can then paste this for example somewhere into the Bookmarks Manager (or in another place on the personal toolbar). So I think "Copy" is correct here.

Well, for ages I had been clicking and copying the URL from the URL bar, as it didn't look like it did the job. Could it say "Copy bookmark", as that might nudge people into thinking it copies the URL?

it copies different kind of data flavours, and paste depending on the target, text, html, a place node... so Copy is correct

Gee, I was going to say In History Library, right click "copy" should be "copy link location" also. So what if one wants to paste the whole line somewhere other than a bookmark? Anyway it's all the designer's fault for making it do different things in different contexts. Why not make two entries in the menu, and then Firefox could be free from such boobytraps.
