I've encountered this locally too. For reference when this hits:

Copy from anything in Firefox to paste in any other application does not work.
Paste from any other application to Firefox does not work
Copy/Paste entirely in Firefox does not work.
Open links from external applications to an existing Firefox fails silently.
Drag-Drop a resource from another application to Firefox does not work (such as a text url to an existing tab).

I can't say I have any theories though, but will happily correlate with any developer who does over IRC for stacks/variable state, etc. and debugging.

Probably an incompatible extension, try to create a fresh profile and test, http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing profiles

looks like a dupe of Bug 613915. Reporter, if this is not the case, feel free to mention here.
