Hello!

I'm curious if there was a recent change in Firefox for macOS that started marking items copied from private windows as "concealed"?

I've been using Firefox for quite some time and last week started noticing that my clipboard history app, Alfred, was no longer storing anything I copied out of private windows.

Initially I reached out to Alfred and they suggested this was on Firefox's end:

Upon further investigation, I can see that Firefox intentionally marks its clipboard data as Concealed in order to protect searches done in a private window.

If this is true, can I turn this off somehow? It really breaks my workflow and am unfortunately stuck using Chrome at the moment.

Thanks!

Also have this issue after updating to 118. What’s worse is Firefox has no mechanism for downgrading. Profiles do not transfer over if you download an older version, so one must recreate from scratch. Hoping this is resolved asap, even if via a hotfix that adds an option in about:config. Back to chrome until then.
