Firefox usage problem
by Skaperen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#566H2)
using Firefox 78.0.2 on Xubuntu 18.04 (last upgraded 4 days ago) logged to twitter.com i am looking at a promoted video among the tweets. i did right-click with the mouse. the video pauses and a small box pops up with "Copy video address". while holding the mouse button down i move the pointer into that box and release the button to select it. then in a terminal window with a bash shell running i middle-click the 3-button mouse to paste in the video address and i get what was originally copied into the mouse buffer. i tried a lot of variations but none work. i've had many other websites fail like this, before. it seems every site doing a custom copy will fail. does anyone know why? am i doing this wrong (it works fine for plain text)?
