xterm doesn't default to using the clipboard (it uses the primary selection). I seem to recall seeing some comment to the effect that firefox only supports clipboard (mozilla never did afaik). xterm patch #209 has a "Select to Clipboard" feature which lets one switch xterm's default selection mechanism between primary and clipboard selections. (use "xterm -v" to see what version of xterm you have). -- Thomas E.
