Emulate XMP tag with script tag and allow to copy content
Well, I will answer my own question:
I reported to mozilla this issue as a bug and it was accepted and resolved pretty fast (Thanks a lot for that !!!). Described issue is fixed in Firefox and it will behave in the same manner as all other supported browsers beginning with version 68, so it save to use <script>
tag as replacement for <xmp>
tag now.
