Firefox browser update
Firefox is supposed to be replacing copy without site tracking with copy clean link however the new Firefox download has copy clean Link greyed out!!
I will continue to dismiss the update until there's no longer an option for me to do so at which time I will just give up using Firefox and try using a different browser.

I don't think so. "Copy clean link" can be greyed out only if there's no tracking elements detected.
No I trusted your answer I went ahead with the update copy clean link is greyed out but there is no way to copy anything now that I updated so as I said before I've been with Mozilla Firefox for a while but I'm very unhappy now that they can something that was really important to me so I'm going to see if I can find another browser they can help me out. And I'm pretty sure that there's no way to reverse what I did or to uninstall the update.
Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "there is no way to copy anything now"?
What TyDraniu said is correct, from the update release notes: "The Copy Without Site Tracking option is now grayed out when no known tracking parameters are found within the link."
Also, Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) is much more comprehensive, and will be in use if it is turned on regardless of the link, so it is not like having an alternative clean link available to copy is an all or nothing for privacy.
