An error is thrown for such operation: Error: Cannot request permission clipboardRead since it was not declared in optional_permissions

When Firefox users install an extension, Firefox mentions all optional permissions (Unlike Chrome). I feel like clipboard permission warning is scary enough where some users won't install the extension because of it, even if it's optional. I'll probably remove the copy/paste feature in the next update rather than fix the issue.

I understand and agree. Export/import does the job although copy/paste may sometimes seem cool.

Hello. An update: Firefox changed how permissions are displayed. I'm not sure, but they may no longer show optional permissions when installing an extension, so my previous concern might not be relevant any more.

I've decided to keep the copy/paste buttons, and this issue should be resolved in the next update.
