STR:

1. Copy the download link of a file.
2. Open Download Manager.
3. Paste the download link.

Expected:
The download starts.

Actual:
Paste button is disabled so the download link cannot be copied in the download manager.

Note:
This bug is intermittent and seems to reproduce easily using the Nightly build. The occurrence of the bug is around 33%.
Is this a regression from Fx25?

I managed to reproduce this bug on Fx 25 and Fx20.
Flags: needinfo?(catalin.varga)
In that case we do not need to track this as a long-standing issue, thanks Catalin
