Based on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_API, right now in Firefox, there are quite a few limitations with Clipboard API, quote:

  • readText: only available in Browser extensions
  • writeText: available without permission in secure contexts and browser extensions, but only from user-initiated event callbacks
  • read/write: available when users have browser preference dom.events.asyncClipboard.dataTransfer set to true

Taking above limitations into account, we may want to rely on browser behaviors only for clipboard related actions.

Would it be possible to surface an error message if the clipboard isn't available?
