Extensions either save their settings in the "cloud" or locally.
If you've got Firefox Sync setup, the ones which write to "cloud" will be automatically backed up for you.
Some extensions also offer to export your config to a file so that you can import it later.
It all varies by extension and impossible to tell w/o knowing which ones you're using.
That said, you can always safely experiment using a new profile w/o needing to delete the current one. Create a new profile (launch firefox using
firefox -P) and see if copy-paste works properly in there. If yes, then you can add your extensions one by one to the new profile w/o losing your settings.actually, it's working now, but I might try that when things turn south, again. Thank you btw!
