Copy and Paste - Mozilla firefox 4.0 Beta 8

Post by morgie »

I can no longer copy and paste -if I try and copy and paste between windows nothing happens,if I try and copy and paste from a Firefox to a word document, it simply displays the PDF file icon

There was no issue with Beta 7, nor is there an issue when I use another browser .

Does it happen in SafeMode? Someone else here on Mozillazine.org had the same problem and it was due to an extension, I just can't recall what the extension name was off hand at the moment.
Give SafeMode a try.... :)
Read this: Firefox Standard Diagnostic
So, you can determine if it's a extension or plugin causing the problem or even a corrupt profile after updating.
Enter SafeMode on Firefox 4 by going to old menu bar "help" and select "Restart with Add-ons disabled..."

Same bug for years
This is a serious bug that will kill the Firefox but it seems the company doesn't pay attention on this

Whatever.....we could care less about what trolls use

As KWierso said this is a new bug. Most of the links you posted point to 2006 perhaps you should read things before posting them? Also if you actually had read much you would discover that some extensions and toolbars cause this problem as well.
