Comment (by teor):

 Ilya_SpongeBob, which operating system are you using?
 OS X? Windows? Linux?

 I see the behaviour you describe with Tor Browser 4.5.1 on OS X Yosemite
 10.10.3. The clipboard is cleared after Tor Browser exits.

 I'd suggest you paste whatever you want to paste before Tor Browser exits.
 Because clearing the OS X pasteboard(s) is a privacy feature. Otherwise,
 things that people have searched for on a page, or copied from a page, can
 turn up in other apps later on.
