SUMMARY With Firefox 147.0.4, when I click a "Copy" button for a password in Firefox password manager, it gets copied to the Wayland clipboard, so it can be pasted, but it does not appear in Klipper history, presumably because of a special password hint. The downside of that is that when I press a keyboard shortcut to clear the clipboard history, it doesn't affect this password in the Wayland clipboard at all, so it remains there. Most other copied objects appear in the Klipper history, and are properly purged from there AND from the Wayland clipboard upon executing the "Clear Clipboard History" action. I would like to request either that this action always clears the Wayland clipboard, or that special handling of passwords can be disabled.

> or that special handling of passwords can be disabled I mean, made configurable. This may also prove beneficial because the Klipper's icon will appear in the tray as a clear indication that something was copied, even for passwords.
Makes sense, yeah.
