Copying and pasting links

SInce the iOS8 update, it seems I am unable to copy and paste a link from a webpage into, say, a forum (it will post what was previously in my clipboard). I understand I now have to click on "clipboard" to copy a webpage. Is there a way to simply covy and paste without having to go through the extra steps?

Hold your finger on the link and tap copy in the window.
Then paste.

Within the Sendible, I cannot copy and paste links (when not hyperlinked). The help info indicated it was connected to a Mozilla profile issue. But I cannot make these changes on my own. Please help! PKennedy

Mozilla will not allow me to copy and paste a URL from Sendible. The info indicated I had to update my profile information, but I'm not able to do this on my own. Please help!

Check and tell if its working.

Using Firefox 4, the URL bar no longer displays the web address for my current web-site so I can't copy and paste links. Plus there's no refresh button.

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and so far I really don't like it, but I still would like to give it a chance. However, the URL address bar no longer shows the current address for websites that I surf into. So it makes sharing pages or emailing links next to impossible. In addition to that, there is no Refresh icon that I can find so I'm stuck just hitting F5 to refresh my page.
Short of downgrading, is there anyway I can change those particular issues?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Why cant I copy and paste local links (file:/// or bookmarks) into an editable page (browser or email) in Fx 4 or 5, as I COULD in Fx 3?

During the time I was using Fx 3, I found out that I could copy and past links and bookmark folders into an editable page in firefox, and manipulate those links just as I could in my emails for instance -- copy and paste to my hearts content! and the links would remain clickable--
now, having switched to Fx 4, and then a week later Fx 5, I find out that in neither of these versions can I still do this same operation-- the links from file (file:///) and bookmarks to local pages (including about:config, or about:blank) used to show up in an editable page (and then saved in the scrapbook extension, but even if saved onboard my disk, no matter) as a clickable link-- (no, about config would not open up from a saved page, Im trying to remember more examples here, the LINK would still be a correct hyperlink)
now, in Fx 4 and 5, these links are copied to the clipboard as text only!
this saddens greatly-- I was making wonderful use of this feature back in Fx 3.6-- but Fx 5 really is faster, and so far, ALL the extensions Ive come to LOVE still work great in Fx5, and things happen faster
can someone tell me why,
and
is there a config setting, or some other solution that can change this back for me?

THANK YOU "I have this problem too" clickers!!!
Im still checking back here regularly to find out WHY!?

Firefox doesn't store the bookmarks as separate files in a folder, but uses a sqlite database file with the name places.sqlite.
You will have to export those favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML : "From File"

I just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.13 this morning and now, when I click on a link in an email or webpage, it won't open Firefox. How can I get this option restored in Firefox so I don't have to copy and paste the link?

The edit button disappears when I have the link window open, so how do I copy and paste address for email link?

When I want to create a link to a web page in an email, I click the "link" icon and a window appears asking for the address. But simultaneously, the "edit" function and all other functions disappear from the Firefox toolbar. With no edit, how can I copy and paste the address? I have tried highlighting the address and dragging it into the window, but it won't drop into the window.
I have resorted to copying the address to a document and then pasting it into the link window, but there must be a less cumbersome way.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden. 
You can make the Menu bar visible via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options. 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

HOW CAN I COPY AND PAST A LINK INTO/ONTO A FORM???

I use acrobat X and have created froms to fill out and email to clients so they can review differnt real estate properties and i want to past a link at the bottom of the form. When i receive an email alert about a new property there is a hyperlink in the emailand this is the one i would like to copy and past onto tthe PDF form described above. i do not want to nake a permanent link on the form as the info will change with every email i receive. if i copy the hyperlink into a text boc it only comes up as text. i can't believe it is so hard to do this. If i copy the link into word or excel and then save the file as a pdf the link will work but then i can't use the form. OMG please help!!

Acrobat is not an authoring program like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. So extensive editing is not possible.
How do you want the link to look?
There is a link tool that can insert a link around a location.
You can create a button form field and customize the displayed text and create an an action to execute a link.
You can create a text field and enter text into the field and create a mouse up action to execute a link actions.
Links in PDF can do much more than open a web page.
As noted you can create a form and replace the content layer and retain all the form fields and actions.
If you convert a Word document to a PDF make sure you set the PDF Maker conversion settings include the conversion of web links to interactive links.

When I copy and paste a link, it does not show up as hypertext. This is a new problem. I recently switched ISP's. Could that be an issue?

If I copy and paste a web address, it does not become an underlined link..How to fix?

I sell items on ebay. When I copy and paste a web address it does not become an underlined CLICK ABLE LINK.
It does in automatically in Internet Explorer. I prefer using Firefox.
How can I fix this ???
Ron
PS The same thing happens if I try to email a link to someone.

Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic. 
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button). 
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink. 
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

How do I copy and paste a hyper link to an email in safari/gmail

how do I copy and paste a hyper link to an email

If you mean you want to include a link to a Web site in an email you are about to send,
In Safari, go to the web site you want to send a link for.
Triple-click on the Address box at the top of the screen to select it.
Choose Copy from the Edit menu.
Change to the email screen and place the cursor where you want your hyperlink.
Choose Paste from the Edit menu.
If you are cautious, send that email to yourself first.
When you get your copy, click on the link to see if it takes you to the right place.
If that works, then send again to the person you intended.

When I post a link, it isn't underlined, so the recipient can't click on it but has to copy and paste

I had to change to Firefox because I'm with Yahoo and it became impossible with IE to use my email. Now I can't copy and post links for the recipient to simply click on, because they are not underlined, so the recipient has to copy and paste them to view them. This is not great for my daughters, for example, who receive their emails on their mobiles, as they can't then look at the link. I have no idea why this is like this and equally, have no idea how to remedy it. Is it something to do with the fonts maybe? I did change them when I 1st started

Why can I no longer copy and paste a link?

Since updating Mozilla I have tried sending a link, but can no longer copy and paste it. I don't even understand what an anchor is....

I am not the only one with this problem, which I didn't have before updating Mozilla. So what are Firefox going to do about it?

Bring back copying and pasting of SONG and ARTIST info (not just links)

Guys, I used to be able to copy and paste song and artist info into a Google document so I could have a record of my favourite tracks. I'm not talking about copying and pasting actual links within Spotify; rather just the absolute basics. If still not following, I would, for example copy a track from my Spotify playlist as such: Megadeth - Hanger 18 After which I would paste into a Google document and get this: Megadeth - Hanger 18 I've always found the ability to do this very handy. Any chance we can have this back, Spotify? And while we're at it, can we be able to hover over the Spotify icon in the Windows system tray and have currently playing track info displayed? Cheers.

Select the text in both cases, and look at the Character Style applied. My guess is that the grey text has the Hyperlink Character style, and it has been manually overridden to get to grey and not underlined. When the text is copied and pasted, the Style is re-asserting itself. Remove the Style from the grey text (or use Redefine Style to change it to match your formatting preferences).

Link not displaying when copy and paste

When I copy and paste a url link into an email being composed on Firefox, it doesn't turn it blue and into a clickable link.
It works with IE or Word but not Firefox or Chrome.

This sounds like a problem with your email client. Which email client are you using? Many popular clients, such as Gmail, require you to select the link that you pasted, and push a button that looks like a chain. I believe Gmail will automatically "linkify" it when you send it, even if you didn't push the button.
