I am quite certain that none of the Mozilla apps are Cocoa-native.
They are all written using the Mozilla Cross-Platform Application
Framework. There is a book about how to write cross-platform apps
with that framework.
Any cross-platform framework ultimately has to call through to
platform-specific APIs, but it's likely that it does so only in a very
primitive, low-level way.
Firefox plugins *should* be able to handle the clipboard just like any
other user interface code. But to do so, Firefox would need to
provide the necessary support. There's no reason it couldn't. Either
it just doesn't, or it tries to but it is buggy.
