Ctrl+C closes tab instead of copying text and Ctrl+F doesn't work

Hi,
As stated in title, since upgrading Firefox to the latest version, when I press Ctrl+C it closes the tab I'm on instead of copying text. It can be text from a website or text from an email i'm writing. Estremely frustrating, as I've come to the habit of copying the text of an email I'm sending using Yahoo Mail before sending in case it doesn't send properly and gets lost!!!
Also, I usually pressed Ctrl+F to search for a specific piece of text on a website, but this simply doesn't work. Any ideas?
I use the Welsh language version of Firefox, and the same problem occurs on both my home laptop and work PC.

Super annoying, but I've realised '''Ctrl+Shift+T''' opens the last tab to be closed and that is a great help until a fix comes along.

  • How do I copy text and objects from pages to and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email

    Anyone know how I copy text and objects from pages and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email, thanks

    You can't expect Mail to support all the objects of Pages which can include anything up to charts generated from spreadsheet tables.
    Even if Mail was a superset of Pages, what would the recipients who don't have either Mail or Pages, make of it?

    >my indesign file is a web file
    Pardon?
    Or do you mean that, when you created a new document, you choose Web as intent maybe?

  • The plus sign next to my tab stopped working: when I click on it nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still doesn't work.

    The + sign to add a new tab suddenly stopped working a while ago. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still doesn't work. What may have happened and how do I fix it?

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • 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)

  • My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay in store?

    My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

    I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

  • When i open iTunes U it comes up with just the brown bookshelf but no icons to click on and then it closes. I've deleted it and then re-download it and it still doesn't work.

    On the bookshelf there's no icons to click on and after a mintue it closes. I've deleted it and then re-download it and it still doesn't work. Im using a ipod touch 4 and im on 5.1.

    I, too, am having this problem and it's annoying.  The app just shuts down every time I use it. Too bad cuz it looks lie there are so many wonderful courses in the catalog.
    Any tips on how to fix this would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • Hello, i have a hp pavilion dv5 laptop and my mouse has started to close tabs instead of open them.

    Product name:  HP Pavilion DV5
    Operating system: Windows 7
    No error message
    Unsure about upgrades (my laptop constantly has a message about some update or another.  Every time I turn it on it starts to try an update)
    Recently my mouse pad has begun to malfunction.  When I hover my mouse over a tab in an internet browser and click the tab to open, my computer closes the tab instead.  I have tried turning the mouse pad off and on again as well as restarting the laptop to try and resolve the issue.  I have tried clicking on different parts of the tab as well, making sure that I am as far away from the "x" as possible and the tab still closes.  Please help.
    Thank you.

    It appears to problem with my mouse is isolated to Google Chrome.  Firefox appears to be working normally with my mouse.  

  • I close tabs, it disappears, but can still ctrl+tab to them. Then they won't close.

    Sometimes, when I close a tab, the next tabbed site will be displayed, and it will disappear from the row of tabs on top, as if it really closed. But when I ctrl+tab or ctrl+shift+tab, it remains one of the sites I cycle through. It won't close. Usually, if I close firefox, this goes away, but sometimes the same phantom site(s) remain even after restarting firefox.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == A few weeks or months ago.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • Cant copy text and paste into google search box

    i like to copy text an paste instead of repeatedly typing and the paste function in the right click menu is greyed out. cant paste

    SUPPLEMENT TO MY PREVIOUS POST
    The copy and paste into dialog boxes works just fine.  I suspect that my earlier problem was due to not being familiar with the new computer's keyboard.  I am used to the CTRL key being located at the bottom left of the keyboard.  The new keyboard has the Fn key in that position.  I must have pressed Fn instead of CTRL.  The old habits die hard.  I feel like for not noticing this earlier.

  • When opening new tab, how to make me able to type in the adress bar directly without clicking on it? -- (about:config reset and add-on doesn't work)

    Hi all,
    Need a help relating New Tab on Mozilla.
    I want to be able to directly type in the address bar everytime I open a new tab in Mozilla, without clicking anything. To be clearer, it means that everytime I open the new tab, the blinking cursor is already on the address bar.
    What's happening right now is everytime I open new tab, the cursor is not placed anywhere--not on the search bar on the page, not on the address bar. I should put the cursor somewhere to do something.
    I tried using the about:config reset (1) and installing custom new tab (2), but both do not work.
    When I tried the about:config reset the Reset button is not highlighted (I assume it means it's default already), and the Custom New Tab doesn't yield in different result.
    What confuse me is 2 days ago my Mozilla works just fine. Everytime I opened a new tab, the blinking cursor was on the address bar and I was able to type directly.
    Thank you and appreciate the help!!
    Note:
    (1) about:config reset:
    - Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
    - To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
    - In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
    - In the search results, right-click browser.newtab.url and choose Reset.
    (2) Custom Add On reset:
    - Install Custom New Tab. = https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
    - Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
    - Next to Custom New Tab, click the Options button.
    - Set whatever page you want to open in each new tab (about:newtab is the default; about:home is the default home page), and make sure "Place focus in URL bar" is not checked.

    <blockquote>
    ok, as a follow up i'd recommend disabling half of the addons & restarting the browser - if the problem continues disable the other half & continue until you've narrowed it down to the culprit...
    </blockquote>
    Hi Philipp,
    I read the link you copied on the first post and also tried your recommendation above. None seem to work. Even if I disable all add-ons, the problem still persists.
    One other info, this problem seem to appear after I installed several program yesterday. These programs apparently installed other programs that set my homepage and main search engine to a particular website. But I installed all of these programs already. Would that be a cause of the problem?
    Thanks.

  • Standard Text with ' include' option doesn't work with order created by FM

    Hi ABAPers,
    Standard text with 'Include' Option does not work with all the Order created via the Function Module SD_ORDER_CREATE_WWW. Where as Order created via VA01 display the Standard text with 'Include'.
    On my analysis I found that, Order created via FM use  the '*' 'Comment' instead of ':/' 'Command' in the script editor. So the Standard text inserted was considered as a Text instead of command.
    Hence issuing print or print preview, the Script display the INCLUDE statement instead of the text.
    Can you please let me know the reason and the way to rectify it.
    Thanks & Regards
    N.Suresh Kumar

    Hi.
    Make that * command as /: and try in ur program..
    It works..
    Hope it helps...
    Cheers,

  • I followed the instructions to install the Put Tabs at the End, restarted Firefox and it still doesn't work. How do I get back to 3.6.22??? PLEASE

    The upgrade to 3.6.23 took away my tabs. I use them constantly. I followed your instructions to add the plug-in, but it doesn't work. I did it twice to be sure. It doesn't work.

    You can set the pref <b>browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
    *Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

  • Outlook 2007 Copy/paste problem: Small icon of envelope is pasted instead of copied text

    I'm using Outlook 2007.  When I copy a word doc, pdf, and other files and try to Right-Click-Paste into the message body, I get a small white envelope and yellow lock icon instead of the file.  There is no problem when I use the "Attach
    file" option from the menu in which the file shows up normally.  I am not using any digital signatures or encryption.  

    Hi,
    Would you please provide a screen shot about the icon so that we can understand the problem more efficiently? Basically, envelope with lock icon means Encrypted Message in Outlook.
    In addition, please try to open Outlook in safe mode and then test if this issue persists. To open Outlook in safe mode, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
    outlook /safe and press Enter.
    If still no luck in safe mode, please try to go to Tools >
    Options > Other tab > Advanced Options
    > Custom Forms > Manage Forms, click the
    Clear Cache button and then test the issue again.
    Please let me know the result.
