Hi Dave,
I think I know what happened.
I have a couple of extensions installed that handle text of any type and you can try them out to see if that solves your Copy & Paste problems.

http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.ph ... =text+link
Sorry about that, I am so used to haviing these extensions installed I have forgotten what a stock Firefox has in it anymore.
Also I am able to copy your provided link into Yahoo Mail Compose.

Instead of using the mouse use the keyboard
Ctrl+c copy
Ctrl+v paste
Ctrl+x cut
I use Yahoo mail for all of my email and I never have any problems using those commands.

I ocassionally have the same problem. Using the same mailing program. Some emails I can copy and paste, and some I cannot. I have no idea what is going on, but just wanted to add a voice of confirmation to this post.
My only workaround is to drag and drop. For example if I am needing to paste something from a website into the email text, I highlight it and drag it into the email. But that only addresses one part of the problem. AND sometimes the font size of what I am dragging is not the same as that in the email. For me, it's a rare problem. One in every several hundred emails.

try this or
here.
then, if you have a [paste] button on your email window, press it. ok, i just checked yahoo mail, and i have "paste" available in my context menu.
the former shows how to activate it for multiple websites.

Just click on reply in yahoo mail, and then you can copy the message.
