Install the LastPass binary, and you get copy password back in Firefox.

I tried that on Win10, and it didn't work for me. It was the last straw. Honestly, why on earth do they need it anyway? HTML5 has had a Clipboard API for a while now.
I've used both extensively and Bitwarden is just a dramatically higher-quality app it's not even funny.

Not on Linux, and we've waited too long. 1Password supports it direct from the extension.

Weirdly, I have been using Lastpass in Firefox on Linux and seem to have copy/paste.
(Not that this whole thread hasn't had me re-evaluating whether there's a better solution for me now.)
Ah good to know. Does anyone know the reason they removed it from the Firefox addon?

I believe it had to do with the change from the old addon format to the new one in Firefox.

Bitwarden doesn't seem to have any problem copying passwords using a new-style extension with no binary install.

I recall that the initial release of the Web Extension support was a bit threadbare, and/or that they had to change the extension ID or something of that sort, but it's also possible it was left out for existing design reasons/as a cudgel. In either case this whole thread has been useful for alerting me that I should re-evaluate if Lastpass is the optimal solution for me.
I switched to LastPass from 1Password because I hated their whole mobile sync thing where you had to be on the same wifi and start your Mac app to sync etc. I understand that it's more secure that way, but that trade-off was not worth for me. Has that changed in the meantime?
