If any page has css element display:none, it will not be rendered by firefox, however doing a select all and copy/paste into notepad, you can see the text. Ideally a select all, copy/paste should only paste the text visible to the user. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.risesmart.com/tr.html
2. Do a Select All (or control A) and copy
3. Paste into notepad
4. There is text which says "This will text will not be seen" which can be seen in the pasted text but not on the rendered page
Actual Results:  
"This will text will not be seen" is seen on the pasted results

Expected Results:  
"This will text will not be seen" should not be seen

Hide all text which is not visible on the rendered screen
