Oh my F... Wow!!! I've been trying to twist myself in 4000 pieces trying to get an old, no-longer maintained extension (imagus), to work, and it just keeps gradually failing. THIS Extension... I thought I had scoured Firefox's Add-On Shop for EVERY type of similar Extension! Why did I just find this now?? This Rocks. This Totally Rocks. Vincent W., you just made my tremendous day. Cheers!

Hi, after the new update, the copy-paste shortcut does not work on Facebook. :( And yes, it is because of this plug-in, when I disable it, it works fine.
