So, here's what's up:
- in Firefox, in version 127 `navigator.clipboard.write` support was
added:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/127
- previously, Firefox was going down an if/else branch where
`navigator.clipboard.write` isn't present, we use
`navigator.clipboard.writeText`
- Now, that Firefox is using the more common path, it now puts
MIME-types on the clipboard, both HTML and plaintext.
- _However_, on Firefox, it uses a different sanitization algorithm than
the Blink engine does and it ends up scrubbing out the `<tldraw>` fake
HTML tag:
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/unsanitized-html-async-clipboard
- And, unfortunately, Firefox doesn't support setting `unsanitized` on
the ClipboardItem: https://caniuse.com/?search=unsanitized
- see also:
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/unsanitized-html-async-clipboard
- So, the workaround here is to just use `<div data-tldraw>`. I'm not
completely happy with it since the ending `</div>` tag assumes there's
no nesting but ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ it's fine in this case.
- Plus, I wanted to make sure that in the wild no one was relying on
this format being what was on the clipboard. Searching across all of
GitHub it seems like it'll be fine.
- The longer term, better solution, would be to use custom HTML formats:
https://developer.chrome.com/blog/web-custom-formats-for-the-async-clipboard-api
- However, of course, Firefox doesn't support that yet either 🙃https://caniuse.com/?search=web%20custom%20format

Talked with Alex, and what we could do down the line is copy SVG-in-HTML
and then include `data-info` attributes that had data we could extract
per shape. Something like that :handwavy: :)
I'll hotfix this once it lands.
