I tested it on my machine (Debian unstable with libgtk-3-common 3.24.24-1) and 
still I cannot copy text from Firefox to other clients.

I'll forward your text to the distributions mailinglist, as I'm not an 
upstream developer of Plasma. And the primary mail with the request for 
backport came from the plasma team.

regards,
