Clearing the clipboard on exit is a feature of the Private browsing

the clipboard when you exit the program. If you are in Private browsing
mode, paste your text into Notepad before you close the browser.

Someone else will have to chime in then, because my FF ver. 21 doesn't
exhibit that behavior.
