Description

When I yank I see the vimium tooltip at the bottom - "yanked ..."

However I get nothing on my clipboard.

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Vimium: 1.61.1

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. First reproduce yanking on Firefox 57.0 with Vimium 1.61.1 on macOS, then trace the clipboard path used by the yank command. Done means yanked text is available on the system clipboard and the behavior is covered by verification for the reported environment.
