User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20131205075310 Steps to reproduce: 0. Start Firefox fresh. 1. Copy some text from a webpage. 2. Force terminate / Kill the Firefox process. Actual results: Trying to paste the copied text will fail. Nothing will be pasted. Expected results: Clipboard data should retain even Firefox is crashed.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 Copied text from Firefox, closed Firefox with menu > Quit -> text could be pasted. Copied text from Firefox, pasted the text, killed the Firefox process -> test could still be pasted. Copied text from Firefox, killed the Firefox process -> The clipboard was empty. You couldn't paste the text copied now, nor the one copied before.

Interesting, this may actually seem like a sessionstore feature as we would somehow need to persist this information and restore it on after crash.
