The point is that Firefox' and Mozillas security model prohibit unsigned 
access to the clipboard (and other local resources).

To overcome this problem the script has either to be signed or the user 
must lower manually the security settings. It is possible to allow 
scripts from certain sites to gain access to local resources. To do this 
  the file user.js in the profile must be changed. This is awkward and 
obviously meant only for developing.
