I am using Gnome on Wayland and the classical Linux method using
highlight to copy and middle click to paste works, too, however on my computer, I am experiencing the following behaviour:
- If I highlight and middle click, things work as expected.
- If I CTRL-C and CTRL-V (with SHIFT) on console, things work, too
- If I highlight something to copy it, any CTRL-C pressing will overwrite it and both CTRL-V and middle click produce the same result.
- If I press CTRL-C to copy something, highlighting another piece of text will not cancel the first clipboard, so I have basically two clipboards and I can use CTRL-V to paste one thing and the middle click to paste another.
I am not sure, if that is a bug or a feature, but it does not bother me in any way.

OK, this seems to work. But, it also seems to reveal that there are 2 clip boards in use under
wayland.
Doing what you suggests does put the text in the systray clipboard and then using Ctrl-V
in Thunderbird does past. But the "paste" key on my trackball pastes text previously highlighted
within Firefox (for example).
It can be confusing to me to have to remember 2 methods depending on what apps I'm using.
Would be nice if this were unified.
