  • How do I get back my edit functions, copy and paste, without doing a restore?

    When I switched to Firefox 4 I no longer have the file, edit, etc. functions anywhere. I can't or don't know how to copy and paste websites to emails for instance without the edit functions.

    I have checked the toolbar buttons and have MENU ticked, I went to the customize toolbar thing and added (by drag and drop) the cut copy and paste and other buttons I cant find now, and they showed up at first, then they disappeared. The top section seems terribly narrow now and I cant find any way to add the buttons underneath where they used to be...help!

  • Why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx?  I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

    why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx?  I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

    I went through updates on my three newest Macs this week.  As I stated I'm talking about iTunes 10.5.1 (42).  I am checking for updates now and I see 10.5.2 is now available.  I'll know in about 15 minutes if this issue is fixed or not.
    15 minutes later:
    I must have updated this PPC G5 a day or two before iTunes 10.5.2 came out.  I was able to update to 10.5.2 (11) and this copy/paste bug is fixed.  I'm happy again.

  • Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

    Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?  The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function.  Am I missing something?  It was so easy with Windows.

    Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

    Hi i noticed that a link appeared in my copy and paste on my iphone 5 that i never copied before. I have a feeling its a virus, can this happen?

    No. There are no known viruses that can affect an iPhone that has not been jailbroken.
    It may ave been copied unknowingly, but there is no virus involved.

  • 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.

  • Firefox on hp laptop always open with option of safe mode or reset how can i get it to open without option.desktop doesn't do this. Doug

    I set up firefox on laptop first and it always requires that i choose to open in safe mode or reset toolbar, how can i change this without reinstalling firefox. My desktop does not require that i do all that it opens with everything in place. I don't know what i did different when i downloaded it on desktop.
    Doug

    Make sure that you do not have the Shift key pressed when you click to desktop shortcut to start Firefox.<br />
    Also check the Properties via the right-click context menu that the -safe-mode switch isn't appended to the target (command) line.

  • How can I save colors of text by copy and paste from a strange application

    Hi!
    When I copy colored text from a strange application to paste it into pages (4.0.2) all text is black. The colors disappear. When I look at the clipboard, I see the correct colors. In AppleWorks, MS-Office and OpenOffice the colors are copied correctly.
    What can I do to save the colors?

  • How to enable copy and paste in Firefox

    I have tried over and over and over and I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out how to configure Firefox to allow me to copy and paste. I've downloaded EVER SINGLE EXTENSION YOU HAVE and some I found online!!!! HOW DO I COPY AND PASTE??? And please don't be a smart aleck and tell me to right click..I tried that. I've tried everything it's not working...

    If right-clicking doesn't work, it could indicate that the site is intercepting and blocking Firefox's regular context menu. Some sites are cheeky and show you a copyright notice when you right-click.
    You can change a setting so that you always get Firefox's right-click context menu. If the site has its own menu, Firefox's will appear in front of it. To access the site's menu after making this change, you have to carefully dismiss Firefox's menu with a single press of the Esc key. (I think I've only seen one site where ''both'' menus disappear when I press Esc, so it nearly always works.)
    Want to try it?
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''context''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''dom.event.contextmenu.enabled''' preference to switch it from true (sites can detect and re-place the right-click menu) to false (they can't).
    Does that help?

  • How do you copy and paste on Android?

    When I'm browsing various sites there is often a need to either copy text from a web page or paste text from elsewhere on the phone (such as a password manager app) into a form on a web page. When using the stock Android browser this is generally accomplished by a long-tap on the text or form. However, when using Firefox this doesn't do anything. So I would like to know how, when using Firefox on Android, I can copy and paste text. Please bear in mind that the phone I am using - the HTC Evo - is a touchscreen device and has no physical keyboard.
    Thank you for any help.

    I installed the nightly, per your suggestion. And it seems copy / paste is now almost working. The one problem I've encountered is that when trying to paste into a password field that masks your entry the "Paste" option doesn't come up in the context menu after a long tap on the password field. I've encountered this on the 3 sites I've tried so far - Amazon, Android Central, and Best Buy's credit card management. Pasting the username works just fine, so it seems it's something about the masking of the password entry box.
    Thanks for pointing me towards the nightlies. I'll keep an eye on them and keep testing things out.
