hello oetkbtytr,
In regards to your first 3 questions is: The Clipboard is managed by Windows. Windows 7 has a version of it. And Windows 10 has a highly advanced version of it.
Please see attached pics that will guide you into finding the feature in windows.
In regards to your 4th question: We need more information before we can make an honest assessment. :-)

The clipboard is a feature of Windows where stuff goes when you use Cut or Copy and where stuff comes from when you use Paste.
You might want to use Copy to Clipboard in some cases where you just need to grab an image to paste somewhere immediately -- like an image or document you are editing, or an email you are composing -- and you don't need to save it as a separate file.

I'm sorry to have bothered anybody for the blond moment, I was under impression FIREFOX added a more convenient screenshot trigger along with a FIREFOX "CLIPBOARD" ...found screenshot trigger, but no clipboard, FIREFOX wud be a Gamechanger, ADD CLIPBOARD FOLDER NEXT TO DOWNLOAD icon or option that appears after taking screenshot.....giving access to desktop without switching browser to minimize or closing....just a thot....boy do i luk stupid now, of course i know where windows clipboard is whatshername gets it for me all the time, see i use on-screen keyboard and mouse to type, laptop too small, i'm old and failing, big screen my cup-o-tea.....thank you , both for quick responses...FIREFOX shud not be so vague with new /old hints ...have nice day...
Oh i see.
I dont know if there is any benefit by duplicating a windows feature that works in FireFox, for exclusive use in FireFox.
ok.
a) So you found the webpage screen shot feature in FireFox. This is unique to FireFox and not found in windows. However, if you click "copy" after capturing the screen shot, it will be stored by WIn10 and usable for you.
b) So you know about Win10 Clibboarding features. While this is unique to windows, it can also be used in FireFox. You can add things to the clipboard by 1) FireFox screen shot, 2) items captured by Windows Snipping Tool and 3) items captured by the use of Ctrl+C.
So as you can see by the above, adding a Mozilla Clipboard to FireFox would be reduntant since Win10 clipboard works inside FireFox.
To see Win10 Clipboard folder, be sure to enable the clipboard history option then simply press Win+V after copying something.
Perhaps, adding a button somewhere that invokes Win+V would be helpful. But it wouldnt work unless people enable the fancy Win10 Clipboard feature.
I've attached some screen shots for you.
