A clipboard manager for Firefox

Does Firefox have clipboard history?

No. Firefox uses your operating system's clipboard, which holds one item. Some systems add a short history of their own: Win+V on Windows, Spotlight on macOS Tahoe, Search+V on a Chromebook. Those lists are short and some clear on restart. A Firefox add-on keeps a full history inside the browser.

What Clipboard History Pro does in Firefox

• Saves what you copy on web pages in Firefox, automatically.
• Unlimited history on the free plan.
• Search as you type.
• Click to copy back any earlier item.
• Favorites and tags for items you reuse.
• Text expander. Type a short shortcut in any web form and it expands to the full text. 5 shortcuts free.

Pro ($5.99 a month or $60 a year, with a 14-day free trial) adds sync with Chrome, Edge and the iPhone and Android apps, floating mode, the page widget, a passcode lock, and unlimited shortcuts and tags. Compare plans on the pricing page.

Requirements

• Firefox 121 or later on Windows, macOS or Linux.
• Install from the official Firefox Add-ons (AMO) listing.

How to install

1. Open the Clipboard History Pro page on addons.mozilla.org.
2. Click Add to Firefox, then Add.
3. Click the extensions (puzzle-piece) icon in the toolbar and pin Clipboard History Pro.
4. Copy something on a web page, then click the icon to see your history.

What people use it for

• Research. Copy quotes, links and figures from many tabs, then paste them into one document at the end, in any order.
• Support and sales replies. Save standard answers as favorites or text shortcuts, so a reply takes seconds.
• Forms. Addresses, account numbers and IDs you type again and again become two-letter shortcuts, such as :ad.
• Code. Keep commands and snippets you copy from docs, and search for them later by a word you remember.

Firefox vs Chrome: one honest difference

Chrome lets extensions read the system clipboard in the background, so in Chrome the extension also picks up text you copy in other desktop apps. Firefox does not give extensions the same background access, so in Firefox the add-on is built around what you copy inside the browser. If capturing copies from every desktop app matters most to you, use Clipboard History Pro in Chrome or Edge, or pair the Firefox add-on with your OS clipboard history.

Using more than one browser?

Many people use Firefox for personal browsing and Chrome or Edge for work. Install Clipboard History Pro in each, and with Pro sync turned on, the same history and text shortcuts appear in all of them. Your phone can join too with the Clipboard History Mobile app.

Privacy

Your history is stored locally in Firefox. It is sent to the cloud only if you turn on Pro sync. You can delete items one at a time, clear the history, or have items delete themselves after a set time.
