How do i copy, cut and paste on firefox

How can I copy cut and paste on firefox? I have windows 8! Please Help !!!!!!

You should just be able to perform these functions as you do in any application by doing one of the following:
* Select some content, right-click your selection and select 'Copy' or 'Cut' from the menu. To paste, right-click in a text area or input field and select 'Paste'.
* Select some content and press Ctrl+C to copy or Ctrl+X to cut. To paste, click in an input field or text area and press Ctrl+V.
In webpages you cannot cut content that is not in a text area or input field, and you cannot paste to somewhere other than a text area or input field. Some sites also use preventative measures to stop (or at least hinder - there is usually some way around it) copying (often to prevent plagiarism).

It's an extremely important skill to learn to read the API and become familiar with the tools you will use to program Java. Java has an extensive set of documentation that you can even download for your convenience. These "javadocs" are indexed and categorized so you can quickly look up any class or method. Take the time to consult this resource whenever you have a question - you'll find they typically contain very detailed descriptions and possibly some code examples.

Does webmail have no copy, cut and paste features?

The automated agent was of no use. My old ATT webmail would let me cut and past using IE or Windows controls, but at least had their own cut and paste commands. Not being able to copy, cut and paste when composing e-mails is a MAJOR hassle.
And if anyone knows how to enable links, HTML, etc, in webmail, please let me know.

What browser are you using? CTRL + C, CTRL + X, and CTRL + V are all working fine for me, and I would assume their equivalent Edit menu commands work as well...
Also, which version of webmail are you in?

~~red:'''''Can not copy/cut and paste'''''~~
The two most commonly reported causes of not being able to right-click, Copy and Paste are AVG Safe Search and Yahoo Toolbar. ~~red:'''Disable them and test'''~~ ( Tools > Add-ons > Extensions , locate and click on each of the add-ons, click Disable, when both are disabled, click Restart Firefox in the Extensions window.)
If the right-click context menu allows copy/cut and paste with the two add-ons disabled, then one or both of them is causing the issue. Re-enable the extensions one-at-a-time, restart Firefox and test. When the problem returns, you will know which is the culprit.

N8 Photo Editing - how to use the cut and paste?

Hello,
I am trying to edit some photos - there is a an option to use an ellipse or magic wand. I thought that was to cut and paste from the photos.
All I can do is select and area - but how do I cut it.
I tried save, but it saves the whole image...
Or am I just doing this wrong...
Thanks,

I was hoping to use the ellipse or magic want to cut and paste items in a certain shape to paste on other photos.
I could do this on my N95-4.
So there is no way to photo edit with cut and paste?
Any idea what the ellipse and magic wand function do, and how do they work?
Thanks,

My Copy/Cut and Paste Solution (if possible)

I sent this to Apple:
I know there's been a lot of people saying they need/want a cut/copy & paste feature.
I was thinking about this tonight and realized that with a touch screen that needs to control a lot, incorporating "clicking and dragging" becomes somewhat a challenge. I don't know if it's possible to do with a software update (through iTunes) but here two ideas...
First, in either idea, a "copy arrow" would need to be included in the touch keyboard. It would look like a cursor key arrow pointing to the right.
Idea #1 - Cursor arrow is a "sticky" key, so you hit it once and it stays selected until you hit it again.
Using a finger or the cursor magnifying glass, the user could place their cursor at the beginning of the text they want to highlight. They then click on the sticky arrow key. Using a finger or the cursor magnifying glass they place the cursor at the end of the text they want to highlight. The text now shows highlighted. Click the sticky arrow key again to copy the text and clear the highlight.
Idea #2 - Cursor arrow highlights as it's selected.
Using a finger or the cursor magnifying glass, the user places their cursor at the beginning of the text they want to highlight/copy. They then click on the copy arrow key (or hold it down) until they reach the end of the text they wish to copy. As they highlight, content highlighted is copied to the clipboard automatically. Clicking anywhere on the screen clears the highlight (and retains what is highlighted on the clipboard).
Being Apple, you may have a more elegant solution than me... but I thought I'd share it none-the-less.
What do you think?

I was going to cut and paste part of another post about this but...
I think that th simplest initial implementation of copy/cut/paste is to have a clipboard icon that turns on a selection function with its own pallete of keys. (cut, copy, paste, select all, select none, delete selection, and my favorite desperately needed button... copy to notes)
Once in clipboard mode, single tap selects a ord, double tap selects a sentence, triple tap selects the paragragh, and a select all button selects the entire text within the frame.
Perhaps there should also be a button that looks like your cursor with the arrow. however, it would have to be set to highlight from one complete word to another and not from the exact point of touch.
Man do I wish that I could copy and paste this into my own post from earlier.

Copy, cut and paste in Joomla

I have copy and paste the script into the user.js file. I have also changed the url in that script to point to http://www.ngkerkedenvale.org or should I leave it to point to http://www.mozilla.org

Office 2010 - Copy, Cut, and Paste not working

Firstly, I am on a corporate domain and most of our users are using Windows 7 with the Office 2010 suite, both of which contain the most current updates. My problem is that some users are unable to copy and paste from one application to another.
For instance, User A is unable to copy or cut cells from Excel by either right-clicking and selecting the option, or by keyboard shortcuts and then pasting into another area of the same document or any other document like notepad. User
B, cannot complete the same operation in Outlook from email to email or from email to lets say, Word.
However, and it's a big HOWEVER, none of this happens while the browser is closed. I have seen this with all three of the major browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. So all functionality comes back with the copy and paste once the browser
is closed, and if you reopen the browser the problem reappears as if the browser takes over the clipboard.
If anyone has a solution or suggestion your feedback would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Kris

Copy, cut and paste in sample editor

If I want to cut (or copy) and paste a chunk of audio file in the sample editor window, where can I put the contents of the 'clipboard'? Should I be able to paste it in another sample editor window. For example, the PC CD burning prog 'Nero" allows you to open another file and dump the 'clipboard' contents in it for further manipulation... will LE7 do this?

If I try to cut and paste to firefox from another site or document, it wont paste- why not?

I have tried to move some text from my website forum on Explorer and Facebook to my website opened in firefox, but nothing happens, just comes up with a vertical cursor, like a capital letter I, but no text pastes.

Let's start with the assumption that it's most likely to be a temporary glitch.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the AOL webmail site:
Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Here you can remove your individual aol cookies.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Any improvement?
Microsoft Word has a special way of constructing HTML that preserves attributes unique to Word documents. However, when you paste that special HTML into a webmail editor, it may not be interpreted the same by different sites, all of which want to cleanse dangerous elements from that HTML. Maybe AOL has changed something? Do you know whether the messages appear blank in other browsers?
As a temporary workaround, if the messages do not contain embedded images or other non-textual elements, you could strip the HTML formatting by first pasting into a plain text editor such as Notepad, then copying from there and pasting into your email. To restore formatting (e.g., bold, italic, underline), you would need to use your webmail program's tools.
Finally, I'm not familiar with Firefox 5.1.9. Could you double-check that version number?
