LastPass for Firefox in Linux can't copy things to clipboard.
Which is sort of important in a password manager.
Nobody knows why and when this will be fixed. It started with the move to webextensions, but chrome has this and Firefox on windows and Mac also has this. It's been like this for months. Support just says this is not supported.
I'd say fuck them, but they're still best in terms of Linux support, so?

So I opened the LastPass extension and looked for the clipboard code. Far as I can tell, the problem is that Firefox disallows clipboard modification from the background.

So instead of pulling the string to the foreground and copying from there, the extension instead disallows copying.

Because of course it does.
I mean. Of course.

I liked LastPass, but maybe I shouldn't have looked at their source code.
