You generate a password in some way that's unique for one of those websites you rarely visit or comment at, then want to paste it into those boxes, that try and make you type it twice.

Perfect use case for the mouse selection buffer ;) .

Yes, and I actually use it that way where I can, but I find clipboard still useful. Storing the username (often complicated and obscure) in clipboard, then select only for generated pass, lets you move windows once rather than go back and forth.

Secondly Firefox password management, on certain websites which expose multiple domain names need to search in list. That lets you copy user/pass into paste buffers, great, but if you only have 1 without the clipboard you have to go back to get the second, which is awkward and wastes time as the security pass dialog blocks the data entry in other tab.
