Cannot copy and paste in Firefox, text or graphics

recently updated to ver 22, , and started noticing that I can no longer copy and paste from sites I visit since the update. I can copy and paste from Chrome, IE, and other software within my PC. This appears to be only a problem with Firefox. Have used all of your suggestions for troubleshooting and none of these work for me. I am using Windows XP Pro, with an AMD dual processor, 4gB memory and plenty of available disc space. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Do not know if the update had any thing to do with the problem. Thanks

I am using the latest updates of Windows 7 and Windows 8 on three separate computers, each with the latest update to Firefox and with the latest update to ZoneAlarm. Just as everyone else here, I can no longer copy and paste when browsing the Internet using Firefox. IE 10 does not suffer from this issue. I have deleted ZoneAlarm from both browsers, but the problem continues in Firefox 22.0.
Am growing more and more frustrated.

  • I cannot copy and paste from Word 2007 into Firefox (gmail), and I cannot copy and paste from Firefox (URLs) into a word document.

    Starting two days ago, I can no longer copy and paste between Firefox and Word 2007. I can copy within each program.

    I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document. I have no idea why it is delaying now when it did not do it before, but since it is still going into the document I am living with it for now. Are you waiting long enough to see if it appears?

  • I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook.

    I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook. I opened Safari and tapped/held the text I wanted to copy, but nothing happened. I have tried everything, and I am getting frustrated.

    Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
    Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
    If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

  • Cannot solve the problem of not being able copy and paste in firefox. I have tried removing appInit.dll, new profiles, etc. with no luck. What is the problem?

    I have not been able to copy and paste in firefox for the last two months. My research on the topic has led me to try the disabling all plugins, creating a new profile in safe startup, I removed appInit_dlls from my registry, could not find pushowxx adware, installed lastest version and updates of firefox, etc. All to no avail.

    Hi Gary,
    I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
    When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
    If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
    Please  heck if the following reg key exists:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    or
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
    If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
    If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
    Please check the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
    Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

  • Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. How do I enable this?

    I am trying to make edits to a website for our company. Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. Instead, I have to use control+c and control+v which doesn't always work. How do I enable the feature to be able to use the icons?

    Are those toolbar buttons grayed?
    Do the entries in the Edit menu look enabled if there is text selected or text on the clipboard?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I want to translate some items but i cannot copy and paste into safari

    i want to translate some items, but i cannot copy and paste from my clipboard into translator page using safari .
    no, control-c just clunks a no-can-do warning

    Thank you Carolyn, but I need to compare and contrast with Google, Microsoft and Babylon to sort out what is being said ... along with my own limited understanding of the language and topic ...
    I have found that if I copy text it is in my clipboard with firefox, but I must paste from the firefox edit menu - not command v -
    Unfortunately, I can find no workaround for Safari.
    Thanks again Carolyn.

  • Cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail

    I cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail. Neither from using the keyboard shortcuts, or using the Menu function. I can copy and paste from other applications into Mail- but for some reason, text copied from a Word document (both in .txt and .doc formats) will not paste into an open email. Anyone else have this issue? It's a new issue. I used to be able to do this easily.

    I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document.

  • Cannot copy and paste anything

    Hello,
    I need help. I have two very large tech articles to post on my site and I cannot copy and paste anything. Cannot copy in paste items within the page or from word or notepad. It is as if the clipboard does not function at all. I am using Firefox 3.0 with the latest build version. Please help me out.

    Hello,
    Do you have the same problem with IE or Safari? Please try using a different browser to see if you can copy and paste your content. The current version of Firefox is 3.6. Do you have the same problem if you update Firefox?
    What operating system are you running?
    Best regards,

  • Cannot copy and paste objects in my project... Captivate 6

    Hello,
    I actually wrote about this yesterday, but I would like to mention it again because it's a big problem.  I have a Adobe Captivate 6 project, and I cannot copy and paste text captions, buttons, smart shapes, etc.  Do any of the experts out there have any advice?  I could probably send you a video of the problem if you'd like...
    Thank you in advance!

    Solution :  I created a new project and copied and pasted the slides from the old project to the new project.  Copy and paste works as it should in the new project.

  • Mountain Lion - cannot copy and paste in finder

    Hey,
         I've only just noticed this today and I've done a search but can't find anything so far to help me. I upgraded from lion to mountain lion the day after it was released, not fresh install, upgrade. Basically... I cannot copy files using either cmd+c / cmd+v or using the finder edit->copy / edit-> paste menu. They aren't greyed out. Everytime I try I get the error "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.".
    This will happen even with a newly created folder. I can delete files. I can create files. I can drag files in finder without issue but I cannot copy and paste. I'm guessing there are permission issues going on but I don't know where to start.
    Repairing permissions didn't help (I kinda didn't think it would given it only works on system files but thought it worth a go).
    This is an example of the file permissions assigned to a screen grab on my desktop:
    -rw-r--r--@  1 jackwestbrook  staff  
    64257  1 May 19:48 Screen Shot 2012-05-01 at 19.48.27.png
    Even if I blow it wide open with chmod 777 I still can't copy it...
    -rwxrwxrwx@ 1 jackwestbrook  staff  
    64257  1 May 19:48 Screen Shot 2012-05-01 at 19.48.27.png
    These are the permissions assigned to my desktop:
    drwxr--r--+  19 jackwestbrook  staff
    646 19 Aug 18:24 Desktop
    Can anyone offer me some advice on where to start with sorting out this issue?
    Cheers,
    Jack

    Hey, I was really loathed to try reinstalling the OS and something told me that I'd I can drag and drop but not copy and paste there had to be something interfering with the clipboard.
    I disabled Alfred and its clipboard history feature (http://www.alfredapp.com/) and rebooted. Amazingly this fixed my issue. I'm going to email the author in the morning to give them a heads up about this.
    Thanks to both of you for taking the time to offer me advice.
    John Guo - nice tip, wasn't aware of that!

  • Cannot copy and paste a slideshow- and what is an Album?

    I have created a slideshow in a folder called MISC. I think it is a "slideshow" because the icon looks like a 35mm slide.
    I want to copy this slide show and move it to a folder called 2007.
    No matter what I do, I cannot copy and paste it. Once a slide show is created in a folder, are you now longer able to move it?
    also, what is an album and when would i start one. What is the purpose of an Album?

    I want to copy this slide show and move it to a folder called 2007.
    Is this in the iPhoto Window? Drag and drop.
    An album is an collection of photos. You might gather them together because you want to have all your photos of your dog in one place, quite independent of when they were taken. OF you can make a Smart Album based on any of the criteria you can discover by using the File -> New Smart Album command.
    The core difference between an album and an Event is that a photo can be in 100 albums and not take up any extra disk space whereas it cannot be in more than one Event without duplicating files.
