This setting has long been applied in Tor Browser (to avoid exposing the address of the hidden service), but there are users who use Tor through Firefox (which is not recommended), so developers decided to protect them too.

The context menu item 'Copy without tracking parameters' is now grayed out if the link doesn’t contain tracking parameters.
