Cannot paste copied texts within Firefox browser
This is a weird problem.
I cannot paste copied texts - for example a url - when using message boards within Firefox. Since I use these boards frequently, for example to post images, I always select the url (i.e. in Imageshack) and then copy it into the message. But that suddenly stopped working, and I don't have a clue why! It doesn't work with url's in the address bar either, and 'normal' texts can't be copied either. The problem occurs when I try to copy/paste between tabs, within one tab, or between two different browser windows.
The copy/paste function works within Internet Explorer, so the problem has to be with Firefox. Anybody who knows how to solve this? I reset my computer several times; I also re-installed Firefox twice, but without any luck...Plz help, because this is really getting annoying! Thanks!

I have now noticed that copy/pasting between browsers (suddenly) works (again). It just doesn't work when I want to c/p between tabs. And that's the odd thing, since I never had a problem with it before.
But this is a very irritating bug, since I (and I believe many others) use this c/p feature a lot.
BTW: I select the text (or just go over the url), right-click, click copy/cut and then try to click paste - which doesn't work since it cannot be selected: 'paste' remains gray. It only turns black (and selectable) when I copy between browser windows.

I tried finding the 1.06 version. I want to take back my updating of this.
If I could I'd copy and paste what I said in the other topic but as we all I know I can't. I've said this countless times. But this highly frustrates me. I can copy any text and the programs i've downloaded to help with copy and paste. Only work for copying.
I don't want to give up on Mozilla just yet because I really do enjoy all the features. I'm just disappointed that this can't be fixed.
Keeping my fingers crossed that it does get resolved. Sometime soon.

Under About:Config:
editor. singleLine. pasteNewlines Integer Determines the behavior when pasting content containing newlines into single-line text boxes.
0 (default in Linux): Paste content intact (include newlines)
1 (default everywhere else): Paste the content only up to (but not including) the first newline
2: Replace each newline with a space
3: Remove all newlines from content
4: Substitute commas for newlines in text box

PS: I just copied and pasted this here after going through three sets of pages and right click copying the KB link from my Bookmark tool bar. Check these setting in About:config,
