With

(gui-get-selection 'CLIPBOARD 'image/png)

and then some slight massaging; see yank-media--get-selection.

So that's why `yank-media' saying it can't find any matches, because
it's looking for "image/.*" (in Message buffers).

It sounds like application/x-moz-file-promise-dest-filename (or one of
the other ones) might hold the file name where the image is?  Does

(gui-get-selection 'CLIPBOARD 'application/x-moz-file-promise-dest-filename)

return anything?
