Mozilla does copy it, but to a different clipboard. It's not the
Control-V clipboard. It's the middle click (mouse-button-2)
clipboard. I'm not using the technical terms (because I'd have to look
them up), but that's the basic idea.
If for some reason your version of mozilla doesn't then check out
xterm :) Again remember middle click clipboard.
