Turns out you can highlight text and copy/paste in Firefox. From a post by Cue:

"to copy text what I do is I click the point to start highlighting then shift+left or right arrow highlights, then ctrl+c to copy."

What he means by 'click the point to start' is just touch the point you want a cursor. You will not see a cursor, but once you hold shift and < or >, the text will begin to highlight forwards or backwards. Then just ctrl+c copy ctrl+v paste.
