~~red:'''''Can not copy/cut and paste'''''~~
The two most commonly reported causes of not being able to right-click, Copy and Paste are AVG Safe Search and Yahoo Toolbar. ~~red:'''Disable them and test'''~~ ( Tools > Add-ons > Extensions , locate and click on each of the add-ons, click Disable, when both are disabled, click Restart Firefox in the Extensions window.)
If the right-click context menu allows copy/cut and paste with the two add-ons disabled, then one or both of them is causing the issue. Re-enable the extensions one-at-a-time, restart Firefox and test. When the problem returns, you will know which is the culprit.

I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and paste and doing the header separately from the text.

I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and pasting the header separately from the text. I know there is a way besides a screen shot but I've spend hours trying to find it.

For the particularly persnickety types you might want to expose the full headers in the email message as well. It's easy enough to do, from mail's 'menu' select "view"; then "message"; then all headers.
Another option you could use is a screen capture using Grab.
Activate Grab, then shift + command + w (for a window screen shot). Then confirm the window selection and click the mail message.

How do i copy, cut and paste on firefox

How can I copy cut and paste on firefox? I have windows 8! Please Help !!!!!!

You should just be able to perform these functions as you do in any application by doing one of the following:
* Select some content, right-click your selection and select 'Copy' or 'Cut' from the menu. To paste, right-click in a text area or input field and select 'Paste'.
* Select some content and press Ctrl+C to copy or Ctrl+X to cut. To paste, click in an input field or text area and press Ctrl+V.
In webpages you cannot cut content that is not in a text area or input field, and you cannot paste to somewhere other than a text area or input field. Some sites also use preventative measures to stop (or at least hinder - there is usually some way around it) copying (often to prevent plagiarism).

Hi Johan,
This normally happens when a sort is applied to the view. Sorting by ID then solves the problem.

If I try to cut and paste to firefox from another site or document, it wont paste- why not?

I have tried to move some text from my website forum on Explorer and Facebook to my website opened in firefox, but nothing happens, just comes up with a vertical cursor, like a capital letter I, but no text pastes.

Let's start with the assumption that it's most likely to be a temporary glitch.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the AOL webmail site:
Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Here you can remove your individual aol cookies.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Any improvement?
Microsoft Word has a special way of constructing HTML that preserves attributes unique to Word documents. However, when you paste that special HTML into a webmail editor, it may not be interpreted the same by different sites, all of which want to cleanse dangerous elements from that HTML. Maybe AOL has changed something? Do you know whether the messages appear blank in other browsers?
As a temporary workaround, if the messages do not contain embedded images or other non-textual elements, you could strip the HTML formatting by first pasting into a plain text editor such as Notepad, then copying from there and pasting into your email. To restore formatting (e.g., bold, italic, underline), you would need to use your webmail program's tools.
Finally, I'm not familiar with Firefox 5.1.9. Could you double-check that version number?

That's a hardware question what would be best answered in the forum for the system version you're using, either Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.

Cut and paste with key command?

hi, I've looked at the remote desktop help, and it does seem possible to cut and paste using the "Get the remote clipboard contents" button.... but is there a way to do this with a key command? Shouldn't this be possible with just the keyboard?
thanks

No. Just use Pages '09 if you still have it.
Pages 5 is just missing a lot of features.

Cut and paste with Fascinate

Anybody know how to cut and paste text with Fascinate?

I haven't been able to get it to work everytime, but like in text's, just touch and hold at the beginning or end of where you would like to copy. Then, after a moment, a box will open up with options to select text, select all text, and a couple of others. If you only want to select a portion of it, just select, select text, and and then with only one finger at a time, move the highlight field to cover what you want to select. When you're done highliting, press and hold again, and select copy. Then go to where ever you would like to paste it, and press and hold the screen again, and select paste, and it will insert the text that you copied. It doesn't work the best, and like I said too, not in all areas of the phone.
