Firefox prevents me from copying and pasting content from websites. How do I fix this problem?

When I enter this website, there are certain areas that FIrefox will allow me to copy and paste. However, if the content is located within frames, I get a message that indicates that Copy/Cut/Paste options are unavailable in Mozilla and Firefox. Then, the information box asks me if I want more information or to cancel the request. When I ask for more information, the system offers information about altering the preferences; however, those steps don't appear to work for me. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi happykt, I loaded a story and found that the mouse doesn't select anything in the main story area, although I can select in the header area near the author picture and I can select the entire page using Ctrl+a.
Right-clicking the story area and using Firefox's Inspect Element feature, I discovered the problem: the site is adding a style rule to block Firefox from selecting text:
<div role="main" class="storytextp" id="storytextp" style="padding: 0px 0.5em; '''-moz-user-select: none;'''" align="center">
Some elements within the main story have a .nocopy class name assigned, which applies a similar rule indirectly. Clearly the site doesn't want you to copy anything! Not sure why they didn't just come out and tell you this. Hmmm...
If you want to work around this "feature", you have three options:
(1) Turn off styles for the page temporarily. You can do this from the View menu.
Tap the Alt key if needed to display the classic menu bar
View menu > Page Style > No Style
Scroll down past all the menus and headings and copy at will.
(2) Use custom style rules to alter the page on each visit. Someone would need to develop this for you, and then you could add them to a file named userContent.css or use the Stylish extension.
(3) Use a script or add-on to alter the page on demand or automatically on each visit. Again, someone would need to create this and then describe how to implement it.

Why is Firefox so slow on Facebook and it's applications? How do I fix this problem?

I love Firefox, but when I am on Facebook, especially Farmville or one of the other applications I use on Facebook, Firefox slows down drastically. It is Firefox because I downloaded Google Chrome and it is lightning fast while playing Farmville etc. I've done everything I could think of, including uninstalling some of the larger Add-on's that I had downloaded using Firefox. Nothing has sped it up even a little bit. I don't want to change browsers, but I hate switching back and forth between Firefox and Chrome. Does anyone know if anything is being done about this problem?
Facebook keeps encouraging me to download their toolbar that can only be used on Firefox, I want to but sheesh, I can't handle the turtle speed of Firefox, I'm way to impatient for that.
Been a Firefox supporter for many years, hate to change now.

Hi Sara,
I'm sorry that you're having issues with Firefox and Farmville. My first suggestion is to ensure that your plugins are up to date. For instance, Farmville relies on the Flash plugin, and I've noticed that your version is slightly out of date. You can check your plugins on our Plugin Check page: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/]
Also, some add-ons, like CoolIris, require a fair amount of system resources to operate. i love add-ons and wouldn't surf the web without them, but sometimes it's easier to disable all of them and just turn on the ones you use to determine if any of them are the culprit.
Another way to determine whether or not the problem is with Firefox or your installed add-ons is to create a fresh profile. You can create a new profile alongside your existing one that doesn't have any of your add-ons or bookmarks installed. Don't worry, it doesn't delete any of your existing data and switching between profiles is easy.
Here's an article on how to do this:

Your loyalty to Firefox is appreciated, and I hope this helps you with your problems- please reply if you'd like more help.

Try cleaning out the phone's connector. Else take it in to Apple, you have a 1 year warranty.

My TrafficLight extension disappeared from Safari and will not reinstall. How can I fix this?

My TrafficLight extension disappeared from Safari and will not reinstall, either through Safari or as a standalone download. How can I fix this?

Are you sure you downloaded this extension from Apple ?
https://extensions.apple.com/
Where is it?
Check ~/Library/Safari/Extensions
I did a Google search for source links for the extension but can't find the one for Apple here.
Maybe you downloaded a trial version and it expired? http://trafficlight.bitdefender.com/extensions.html
Just my 2 cents, but this extension is likely to cause you more problems with Safari then it's worth. If you are concerned about security on the net read > Thomas' Corner : Mac Virus Guide

I use escoinst.com for practice tests for epa classes, but firefox boots me off the site after about 15 minutes. I need to stay on this site for an average of 30 minutes. How can I remedy this problem?

I just did the about:config....I do not have dom.ip.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll; I do have dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.np2pstub.dll;false. Also, my timeoutSecs is set at 45. I also noticed that a few of the things are listed as userset and the others are default. What should they be? I don't recall setting anything.
Thanks for any help in resolving this 5 month very frustrating issue.

When using Yahoo Mail in Firefox, I can't copy and paste pictures from a third-party host. I can do this in MSIE 8.

I'm accustomed to copying pictures that I placed on a third-party host (Photobucket or Multiply) and pasting them into the body of a Yahoo Mail message. I can't do that on Firefox. When I click "Paste," nothing happens.

When I try to access files on my external hard drive on one macbook, it says I have insufficient access privileges. I use the external hard drive on my other macbook and it works fine. How can I fix this problem?

I've tried looking the answer up on google, but I've come up empty handed. Do I need to change permissions somewhere? I've tried setting everyone to have read and write acess on both machines and that didn't work either.
My macbook that works perfectly with the hard drive is running snow leopard. the other macbook is running leopard. i'm not 100% certain what brand my external is but it says firewire800/usb2.0 on it.
i appreciate any help i can get!

Me compre un ipod classic de 160gb cada vez que trato de ponerle musica de mi disco duro externo solo copia hasta 1500 canciones y luego me congela el Itune y no lo puedo cerrar, me pide que restaure el ipod como de fabrica, lo hago y nada. Trato de cerrar el programa de itune y no me deja, trato de apagar el computador y no lo puedo apagar, he buscado para ver si tiene errores el disco del Ipod y me dice que esta bien. Lo he restaurado como 8 veces y le he puesto musica y videos pero siempre me borra todo. He aplastado Menu y Seleccion para entrar al sistemade diagnostic o del ipod y le pongo el test manual donde entro al IO y me dice q todo esta bien. Le he dado ya varios Format directamente desde el Windows 7 y nada tampoco, siempre me borra todo desde que pasan mas de 1300 canciones y me congeal todo el equipo. Ya no se que pensar de esta compania Apple porque no da ninguna solucion ha este tema.

I try to close the program and itune will not let me, I try to turn off the computer and I can not shut, I looked to see if the iPod disk errors and says it's okay. I restored it about 8 times and I've put music and videos but I always delete everything. I crushed and Selection Menu to enter diagnostic sistemade or ipod and I put the manual test where I enter the IO and q tells me everything is fine.

I get an Error 1402 Could not open key: and the update fails. How do I fix this problem. Please Help

ERROR 1402. Could Not Open Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MAHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENT VERSION\RUN\OPTIONAL COMPONENTS\IMAIL

You could try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove all traces of any existing versions of Reader prior to installing the version you want and updating it as required. This utility is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can conflict with Win 7, but you can still find it in sites like http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459

Copy and paste Values from Numbers to Pages

When I do simple copy and paste content from Numbers to Pages, I get a formula error message. All I want to copy and paste the values only, not the formulas, but on pages I cannot find a way to paste values only. When it tries to paste formula, it errors because some of the formulas references to other sheets on Numbers. What is the easy way to get values from Numbers tables to pages without passing formulas.
Or better yet! Is there a way to link tables to pages like charts with refresh capabilities so I don't have to copy and paste values to pages document every time Numbers table values changes?

J,
There is no Paste Special in OSX, anywhere. You can Paste Values from the Edit menu in Numbers when that would be necessary.
In such cases where you would use Paste Values in Numbers, you can use Paste and Match Style in Pages for the same result.
Sometimes it's so obvious to Pages what should be done that it will give you what you need automatically, but sometimes you need to use Paste and Match Style to get the values rather than an error triangle.
