More anedoctal evidence: at my job, some windows users who access GNU/Linux and AIX servers via Putty, regularly use "copy on select" (which Putty provides) and do *love* *it*! Since Windows doesn't have the concept of pasting the PRIMARY buffer with the "middle button", Putty uses the right button for it. There is also another argument against changing this behaviour on Firefox: 1. fix consistency for Windows Firefox users 2. break consistency for all GNU/Linux desktop users The hipotetical benefit of 1. is far overcome by the concrete disaster of 2., IMHO.
