I found a (not very clean) workaround based on https://github.com/SebastianSimon/firefox-selection-fix.

If I now use a click on the mousewheel to paste the content of the clipboard into another software, I discover that the url wasn't copied into the clipboard - the previous content ist filled in. That's confusing to me. I would expect: If I can mark an url in Firefox with a single mouse-click, which looks like a marking with a triple click, then it should be copied also in the clipboard. That would be a consisting behavior.
