This site https://clipboardjs.com has a js widget which copies to the clipboard when you click manually, but does not work (for me) when i run the script.

Thanks for the test case. But for me, it works, see the GIF below. So the question is, what is different between your and my Firefox?

Hmm. So I have disabled all my other extensions in Firefox (there were only a few). Now it works. There is clearly a conflict somewhere.

I have now worked through the other five extensions I use and found the culprit. No logical reason why they conflict, it must be a quirking in their coding.

Many thanks and sorry for the false alarm.

Interesting! Can you share which one it was?
