I wish the bug where the copy option is randomly greyed out even though there is text to copy got finally fixed. It's been driving me insane.

Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this
I also wish there was a way to disable the “disable paste” feature.

Worst case, if there is bizarre breakage due to frameworks that reinvent text boxes, have a keyboard shortcut or menu item to type the clipboard contents at 300 characters per minute.

There are some extensions that can help with that:

Specifically: Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy

I would prefer of course that the underlying issue get resolved, but in lieu this has been an excellent workaround for my needs.

Ctrl + right click may allow you to work around it.
Let's see if it gets fixed in less than 25 years. Mozilla is sometimes too slow by today's fast-paced web environment.
