Copy and Paste function no longer works in version 3.6

Ever since I upgraded to version 3.6 (finally after waiting for all of the crash bugs to be fixed after having to downgrade last fall) now the simple copy & paste function won't work when copying from one webpage to put link or paragraph of text into the body of an e-mail, through any of my web based mail services (Yahoo, Onebox, etc.)
So, when doing all of this version updating how could Mozilla allow such a simple function used in every program since the invention of the computer... to be disabled?

Im having this problem, and although it took time to tell because it is intermittent, it still happens when all add-ons & theme are manually disabled.
I would have to test safe mode a little bit longer to be sure it didnt happen there.
It also affects other programs (like my metapad- notepad replacement) as long as firefox is open, but does not when the browser is closed, as far as I can tell.
(version 3.6.12)
It may or may not be related, but there's also a flicker
(black screen in page window for an eyeblink) when firefox
opens or returns from maximized state, and when it opens a menu.
Both bugs only recently started.

  • My copy and paste functions are not working properly since iOS 8 update

    Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4s the copy and paste function isn't working. It'll work the first time but any time I copy something else it pastes the first thing I copy. The only fix I've found is rebooting the phone but that is a pain to do every time I want to copy something and should be very unnecessary. I updated to 8.0.2 but that didn't fix it.

    Have you tried rebooting?

  • My Copy and Paste Function is not working

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 16.02 and everything worked fine for a while but last night out of the blue my copy and paste function stopped working. As far as I know I have not done anything different. My copy paste function still works in Chrome and IE.
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox and that did not solve the problem. As we speak I am running an AV scan and I also cleared the web cache and what not in Firefox. Ran it in safe mode... nothing seems to work!
    Interestingly though, when I went to Copy and Paste the "trouble shooting info" from the clipboard to here on this page it worked fine.

  • Copy and paste function stopped working?

    The copy and paste function stopped working on my laptop (ibook g4, OSX 10.3.9). It does not work in any applications, tried MS word, safari, preview.
    How do I recover this function?
    Thanks.

    Hi Magno2002
    Your Finder may have lost contact with the clipboard, so try this.
    In ~/library/preferences locate these two files and trash them
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    To re-establish them, log out and log back in again.
    You will need to reset your finder and sidebar as you had them before.
    regards roam

  • Cannot use copy and paste function in PSE10?

    Today i went to copy and then paste an image onto another one,i could not use the copy or paste function(in pse 10). Only the paste function was usable  and when i hit it it pasted the picture of an eagle onto the image. This eagle i had copied from a particular website(unrelated to photoshop) amd pasted it to a folder in windows live photo gallery. I tried deleting this eagle from the windows gallery,but still i could paste the eagle onto the other picture.  And it created another layer with the picture of the eagle.This is very strange. How can this be corrected. Also as usual my lassoo tool is malfunctioning in pse 10?  Maybe uninstalling  and re-installing pse 10 would solve the problem  and if so can you give me instructions on how to do this safely or refer me to a link.  Would appreciate a quick reply. Thanks!!

    Thanks Barbara for your help  and your nice explanation as to how the copy and paste function works. Never had a problem before but now it functions normally!

  • With the Lion, the copy and paste commands don't work.  So if you choose a photo and right click Copy, this photo can't be pasted in another event.  This used to work with Snow Leopard.

    The copy and paste functions in iPhoto used to work in Snow Leopard, but not with the Lion.  How do I copy and paste photos from one event to another?  What I don't understand is that it used to work with Snow Leopard, and now that the OS has been upgraded to Lion, it doesn't? 

    Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

  • Multi copy and paste function

    Copy and paste is second nature.
    Does anyone know if its possible to have several open copy and past functions.
    Often one needs to carry more than one thing one needs to copy.
    Thx
    <Edited by Host>

    Which is as good a reason for using something else!
    Try ShoveBox, works for me:

  • Copy and paste take too long

    I am having trouble with Adoby Illustrator "copy" and "paste" functions. It take a very long time (as long as 30 min) to copy a simple line and even longer to paste it. This probles is getting worse. My file size is unusual as well. A comparable file is 155k and this one is up to 65 meg and growing.
    What is wrong and how do I fix it?

    Location of prefs file:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    How were you able to try the solutions if you did not know where the prefs file is???
    Try again, and actaully what they labeled as solution 2 & 3 need to both be done to fix this. In the meantime do NOT copy anything from the infected file to any other file, or this will spread like wildfire to all your files.

  • How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

    How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work

    It's because of the extension of the hard drive is a Windows extension ( most likely MSDOS or Ex-FAT), meaning you can only read but not write. If there are no important files (or you can copy the whole thing to your computer/mac) you can just reformat the hard drive and change the extension to NTFS (readable and writable on both windows and mac) or Mac OS Extended (readable and writable on Mac, readable on windows).
    Go to DISK UTILITY
    Choose the Hard Disk you intended
    ERASE
    You can choose either
              (I personally prefer this one, you know just in case)

    You need to set Copy'n'Paste security policies for that domain in Firefox.
    AllowClipboard Helper will help you do that. <br />
