Copy/Paste not working in Firefox v23 & v24 without ZoneAlarm installed

Recently I updated my Firefox from version 22 to 23 and I noticed copy and paste text from web pages in Firefox to other applications like notepad and even Firefox not working in my windows 8 x86. Copying text from other apps like notepad and pasting to Firefox works fine!
I also updated it to beta v24 and same problem is still there. I don't have any issue with IE.
BTW I don't have ZoneAlarm Installed.

Hi ehsan453,
If it works when you boot Windows in Safe Mode then it is likely that your security software is causing this problem.
Other programs apart form ZoneAlarm can cause such issues as well.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

  • Why is Copy & Paste not working on CS5 on my Mac?

    I'm using two different .psd files - on one, copy/paste (or Cmd+C, then Cmd+V) works perfectly after I have made a selection - it creates a new layer. On the other, this doesn't happen at all. I would attache the file but I don't think I can...
    In any case, they are both simple files for Photoshop beginners. The one started out the same as the other, but I went through some basic steps in my learning, and now I am unable to copy/paste in the second file...
    Does anyone have any ideas why this might have occurred? Thanks.

    I don't know why the problem is happening, but an alternative to try is Cmd+J to duplicate a selection to a new layer.
    You can attach a screenshot of Photoshop when the problem is occurring. It's important that the Layers panel is open in the screenshot. Use Shift+Cmd+3 for a screenshot of the whole screen, which will be dumped on the desktop as a PNG file. Attach the PNG to a forum message by using the little camera button above the message entry field of a reply to this post. Note that attachments won't make it to the forum by email.

  • Cannot Drag anything, copy + paste not working

    My shiny new macbook was working great until this morning, when things went rather awry.
    I have no idea why, but I cannot copy and paste any text (either using apple-c or the edit menu) and I am unable to drag anything such as files or safari interface components. (I somehow managed to get rid of the address bar and I cannot drag it back)
    Does anyone have any idea why it would be doing this?
    I've just noticed that copy and paste works in TextMate, but not in camino or safari

    I have this issue as well  and have put a thread here with Apple Support Communities
    I can copy/paste on the iMac's Hard Hrive to any folder with no restictions. If I try to copy/paste to an outside source i.e. USB – DVDRW – external HDD or NAS, it does not give the PASTE option in the drop down menu.  If I drag and drop a file, I get a circle with the line through it when placed in the folder and does not copy/paste.  I think that’s an error or stop signal.
    In Mavericks I can copy/paste to a mapped drive on my NAS, only if I first right click on NAS Drive icon and go to ‘Get-Info’ and in the General area’s Tick the ‘Unlock’ box. As soon as I have finished pasting, the lock box ticks again by it's self.
    If I right click on the USB and go to ‘Get-Info’, in the General area I only get a Share Folder Tick box and not an Unlock Tick box.  Share does not allow paste to activate in the drop-down menu
    How do we permanently Unlock Mavericks’ paste, Apple?
    Thank you

  • Why is copy/paste not working directly?

    Hi,
    I have some problems when I try to copy/paste from Illustrator to PhotoShop. There is an error from Illustrator when I try to do so: " The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [Parm]".
    What I did so far:
         - Do the updates
         - Run Illustrator with the 64bit version
         - Reset default configuration on most of my settings in Illustrator
    I found a workaround that allow me to do the operation but takes me a lot longer. I copy the part of the image that I want and then I paste it in a new document in Illustrator. From this new document, I do another Copy and then. it let me paste it to my PhotoShop.
    Specs:
    Windows 7 pro 64bit
    HP WorkStation Z230 (F1L56UT)
    Intel Xeon E3-1245V3 @3.4Ghz
    16 Gig
    240 Gig SSD + 1000 Gig
    Thanks in advance for your time!

  • Copy/paste not work for Word attachments?

    Update went fine, and I love it - but apparently I can't copy from a Word doc. Is this normal?

    I just experienced the exact problem as you. I was trying to copy and paste the equations in picture format from word document into the email. I was able to see the equations display correctly on my iPhone; however, both my gmail using firefox and my adviser's email can't read the equation pictures at all.

  • Copy/Past Not Working, New MacBook Pro

    Hello! I've seen this issue addressed in a few different forums, but no solution has been offered.
    I have a new MacBook Pro and have been having this issue all evening. I can copy and paste in the same window, but I can't copy and paste from a different window, which is kind of the point of paste and copy, at least in my situation.
    Can someone help me out?

    Often times problems like this are caused by incompatible third party software.
    Does this problem persist when logging in as a different user, e.g., Guest?
    Does this problem persist when starting up in Safe Mode?
    It will probably be helpful to see a system profile via EtreCheck.
    P.S. If your machine is new you should be able to get free support from Apple.  Contact Apple Support - Apple Support

  • Recordset Copy/Paste Not Working in CS4 for ASP/Javascript and ASP/VBSript.

      Is anyone else having this problem?  I get errors.  Error says "While executing pasteServerBehavior in Recordset.htm, a javascript error occurred.  I have CS4 installed on 2 PCs.  Same problem on both.
    Mike

    Hi there.
    Javascript or any other script is not actually executed inside the JEditorPane. If you want your JEditorPane to run this you must include or write yourself, a browser type of feature to execute that code.
    If all you want is to be able to click on the link and take you to another page, put the href's in the normal body of the html and your hyperlinklistener should behave itself fine. The example in the API work's fine for my purposes.
    Cheers,

  • Copy/paste function not working in Firefox 22. Always good in previous versions

  • Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

    I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

    In what way is Firefox slow?
    Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
    What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

  • When I right click on an Item to copy and pasdte it the Copyt button on my mouse does not work with firefox, it works everywhere else...I highlight an item andt

    I have tried all the solutions so far. they did not change the outcome. My right mouse will not show the copy command. I am getting the drop down menu when I right click and I can highlight words but when I right click to copy and paste the copy does not work... it was working fine until I did the last update for foxfire.. I have 22.0 version

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    *''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • Cut, Copy and Paste not working Photoshop CC

    Cut, Copy and Paste are not working in Photoshop CC.
    I tried resetting my tools and preferences, using edit > purge, reinstalling Photoshop CC and reinstalling OSX. Nothing has worked! Help!

    For about 2 weeks I had this problem and today I fixed it!
    Didn't fancy doing a Reset of Firefox as I'd only just done one a few months ago, manually.
    Basically, I uninstalled ZoneAlarm. I've been a ZoneAlarm fan for years but the software just got worse and worse and for about a year this weird thing pops up while I'm in Firefox by pressing CTRL Enter or something, it's like ZoneAlarm has put some kind of layer between me and the browser.
    Anyway, uninstalled it, it rebooted and did a scandisk which did find and fix a few errors too, so could also be that.
    But I'm happy without ZA now as I've found a better one called Online Armour... non of that sneaky trying to install toolbars in your browser rubbish of ZA.
    Hope this helps!
    I can't tell you how good it feels to have copy & paste fully working again!

  • Cut/copy and Paste NOT working, NO malware and registry edit only temporary in FF 18.0.2

    I've followed EVERY suggested "cure" for the FAILED Cut/Copy - Paste function in FF 18.0.2 without success and am entirely considering UNINSTALLING FF and going back to IE8. There are MANY FF features I like and want to keep it but the simplest things become so frustrating ...
    SUCH AS: 1) Clipboard has worked ONLY SPORADICALLY no matter what I do, 2) Why is there no URL history while using PRIVATE BROWSING so I can retrace my own steps when needed by either pressing the BACKSPACE key or clicking the back arrow. Pressing the back arrow ONLY goes a certain number of steps back and then loses my origination point., 3) Why does the EMPTY CACHE button NOT clear all HISTORY. i.e., I go to a website, say Yahoo email, do my thing and sign out, then click HOME then Empty Cache and enter Yahoo email for a different email account and Yahoo recognizes my attempt and enters me into my previous email User name. Shouldn't happen, in my opinion. Any help here, WITHOUT run AV/malware detection/clean and delete registry entries since NONE OF THESE do anything positive??

  • Copy and paste not working across all apps in lion

    Copy and paste stops working across all apps in lion.  It maybe some compatibility issue.  After a reboot I am able to copy and paste but at some point it stops functioning.

    I am also having this problem.  After running for a while copy/paste stops working, whether from menus or using the keyboard equivalents.

  • The "a name" html tag does not work in Firefox.

    The tag works in all versions of Internet Explorer, but does not work in Firefox versions 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12.

    I haven't noticed any problems on most pages, but I have read about a problem where a script changes the length of the page content after loading (e.g., by collapsing content under headings, done on some FAQ or glossary pages).
    For example, this should position the browser at the Reset Printer section:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer
    A standard diagnostic step is to try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether an odd behavior is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
    If links work correctly in Safe Mode, that usually points to an add-on or custom setting as the problem.
    Let us know whether that makes any difference.

  • Flash Player not working in Firefox

    Suddenly Firefox will not play flash player content called
    when I play games online. It worked fine a few days ago.
    When I click on the link, it opens the game page, but where
    the game should appear, I see a blank black box. When I click on
    the "Play online game" link I also get a large empty black box.
    I am running Windows XP on an HP Pavilion ze2315us laptop. I
    recently installed trial version of Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.
    In efforts to fix the problem I tried the following:
    Removed adblocker addresses that might conflict.
    Checked blocked sites
    Removed and reinstalled Flash Player.
    Reinstalled Firefox.
    Set folder options to use Firefox to open SWF files
    All to no avail.
    I tried the web site in IE. Had to download and install Flash
    Player again but it works fine in IE.
    Afterwards, it still did not work in Firefox.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
