Copying text from the browser window should copy only displayed text (Opera and Konqueror behave in this way). Firefox copies to the clipboard the text of all elements, displayed or not.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The following html shows the problem:

<body>
	<p>This text is displayed.</p>
	<p style="display: none">*This text is not displayed.*</p>
	<p>This last text is also displayed.</p>
</body>

Firefox displays the following:
    This text is displayed.
    This last text is also displayed.

Actual Results:  
When the text is copied, the clipboard contains the following:
    This text is displayed.
    *This text is not displayed.*
    This last text is also displayed.


Expected Results:  
This text is displayed.
This last text is also displayed.
