How do I get Firefox to automatically delete the contents of the clipboard when I close it down?

When I close Firefos down I would like it to clear down (automatically) the contents of the clipboard. Is this possible? (i.e. in a similar way that it clears all browsing history (if I set it that way)) THANKS

No way that I know of through Firefox, due to the Clipboard/Clipbook being a part of the Windows operating system.

Using the link below, you can create a desktop shortcut, and clear the contents of the Clipboard when you wish, by clicking on the shortcut that you created, in the window that opens, click Edit > Delete. The Clipboard only holds one item at a time, over-written by subsequent Copy/Cut actions.
