Cant copy and paste in Firefox
I've somehow lost the ability to copy and paste from or into firefox.
Its like this. if I click on somethin to copy it and then try to paste it elsewhere, it wont work. For example I loaded somethin to yousendit in a sepearate tab, then copied the link to send to somebody through my email (which was open in another tab) and it didnt work, I couldnt paste.
So I open up IE and upload the file again. Copied from IE and tried to paste into firefox. nothin.
third I opened a new IE window and opened my email then tried to paste from IE into the other IE window. It worked. so I've come to the conclusion that the firefox paste/copy function got effed up somehow. I updated it a few minutes ago (but the problem started before I updated) and the update didnt help.
Any suggestions, it looks like this could really be annoying if it continues. I've considered uninstalling it completely and then getting a new reinstall, but I aint done that yet. any help would be appreciated.

Pretty interesting. I just did a copy. Here's the paste.

In other words, it works for me, running Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.6a1 ID:2005101011.
Try uninstalling and re-installing, as it does seem as if something got messed up when you installed.

There is a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

Im having the same problem since a couple of days ago: sometimes it copies, most times it doesnt. Specially into the adress bar, its really annoying. I see that the problem is not copying within a tab, but to move data from a tab to another (copying and pasting, that is), or trying to copy info from the program to a notepad, for instance. Copying within a tab works fine, so thats not the issue here.
Didnt touch the install, only updated (last I knew it was 1.0.4). I just downloaded 1.0.7 minutes ago, uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem persists. Again, never touched config or anything.
Im running Win XP SP2, my Firefox last version was 1.0.4, now updated to 1.0.7 [Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-AR; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7], with no extensions, nor modifications, nor beta versions, nor different configs.
Hope someone checks it out. Thanks!

I wonder if it is a 1.0.7 problem, as I just copied out of here and into word no problems
And then copied this bit back in from word. Didn’t even use paste quote.
But I haven't updated yet.

I don't know how to do any of this stuff, I just hire the guys that do
