Does Firefox still block clipboard history apps from accessing private windows with no way to turn it off? Haven't used Firefox since that change.

Friend, do I understand that you're mad that private windows don't allow the system to introspect what content you're viewing in a private window?

BTW, in the spirit of being helpful: if you're using private windows just for 'fresh session' behavior, Firefox offers two other knobs for that outcome: Profiles and Containers. In Chrome I'm with you that Incognito can be a very cheap way to login to a site multiple times, but in FF you have more choices about that problem

Firefox Profiles are useful, but not nearly as useful as their analogue in other browsers. Same with containers.

I use both, but I try to use profiles very sparingly because you have to relaunch Firefox, which is at times unrealistic.
