I can't reproduce this.

I think there must be some other factor at work: the XWin error message
relates to a timeout during X -> Windows clipboard conversion, but I can't
make clicking on a firefox bookmark cause that conversion to happen.

There are definitely bugs in this area, so any additional information you can
provide would be helpful.
