There are 2 ways to copy-paste in Linux. The traditional ctrl+c/ctrl+v, which copies the selection to clipboard. There is another way that automatically copies the selected text to X primary register (without pressing any other buttons).

The second mode (copying to X primary), no longer works for me. How can I fix it? (The feature works on other GTK apps)

89.0.2 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
