IE vs Firefox cut and paste

When blogging I am not able to cut and paste (control c / v) in IE but I can in Firefox.
The browsers should both function for control c / v

Hi Joyce,
seems it is a known issue and yet to be resolved.
SCN Known Issues List > MKT-256 Cannot Paste Text into SCN Text Editor when Using IE 11.
A workaround could be: SCN and Internet Explorer 11

~~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 have Firefox 6.0 running under Windows XL. When I forward an email with a URL in it, my recipients tell me the URL is not highlighted and they have to cut and paste it into their browser. Why? How can I get my forwarded URLs to be highlighted?

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

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).

Can no longer drag or cut and paste links or words from one place to another with new Firefox update

After updating Firefox 19.0.2 to my iMac Desktop 10.8.2, Lion, I can no longer drag or cut and paste anything to anywhere, anymore. Please help. Thanks!

Does this also happen if you try to copy/cut and paste text in a text area like "Post a Reply" on this forum?
Try to reinstall Firefox. 
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 19.0.2: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Trying to cut and paste . firefox not letting me paste a file from microsoft word to another application

working on a new website .I want to cut and paste information from microsoft. firefox is not letting me.

How is Firefox involved in "microsoft word to another application"?

If i cut and paste in email, while on firefox, as i try to paste, the rest of page goes into blue and if i go ahead and past, it erases rest of page that goes blue thx

when cutting and pasting in yahoo email, as i push paste, the rest of the page goes into and is replaced by what i paste, instead of bein added to

The ChromEdit Plus extension automatically creates a '''user.js''' ''(and the other 2 "user" files)'' upon installation, and it provides an interface within Firefox for editing those "user" files.
http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html
It makes it so you don't have to go hunting around for your Profile folder whenever you want to edit those "user" files by allowing you to access those files from within Firefox while it is running.
FYI, this support article might be a little more helpful for doing the user.js file manually than what you cited as having read.

I've suddenly lost the Cut and paste function.... Firefox or system problem?

In the last 2 -3 days I do not get the cut and paste options when I highlight and right click. This is across the board.

Start Firefox in a special diagnostic mode called "Safe mode:"
* Click the Firefox button and in the help menu, select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
* Or in Firefox 4-9, hold down '''Shift''' while selecting the shortcut you normally use to open the browser
* ''For now if you encounter a Safe Mode window, select Continue in Safe Mode.
If your problem is gone with Safe Mode, it is most likely caused by an add-on. Read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] to find the culprit.

When I cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I get an error stating 'Out of memory, close applicantions and restart windows'. This does not work. When I had IE I never had this issue. Help!

When I try to cut and past text from Firefox to Microsoft Works I receive an error that says 'Not enough memory, close applications and restart windows'. This never works! I never had this issue with IE! How can I fix this issue?

If the crashing only happens with other peoples projects it could be for a variety of reasons. There are tons of asset references saved in the library (the location every item was imported from) and much more. None of those locations will exist on your system and internal complications may simply happen, especially with any runtime shared assets.
If possible you should consider adding more system RAM so you can multi-task. RAM is extremely cheap. I'm assuming from a smaller 500GB HD and 4GB RAM that you're probably on a laptop however. Installing RAM is still usually pretty easy if you have the notebook manual (or grab it online). It typically involves just lifting the keyboard or opening a single panel on the bottom of the notebook but it varies greatly. At any rate, 8GB RAM would help you quite a bit. If you do, just make sure you get the correct type of RAM (again, in the specs in your manual).
Even when you run out of physical RAM, Flash (like any other application) will still see more RAM based on the OS's swap memory setting (using available space on your HD as RAM). It will get much slower but Flash should see the total amount the 32bit OS can handle for RAM (it doesn't know if it's physical fast RAM or SWAP (fake) HD RAM though). If you open other apps with Flash they should also operate, but will also use swap RAM and you've probably noticed your HD crunching a lot while more apps are open.
That said, I have a 4GB RAM in my older i7 lappie and have used Flash CS5.5 and CS6 on it extensively, with other applications open. Although my projects contain mild assets and mostly tons of code. No issues at all. I just think your heavy assets are crashing you.
Either way, glad you got your work done. You're welcome and good luck!

Firefox crashes when I cut and paste

If I cut and paste anywhere it crashes

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

When I include a web link in my Hotmail email, it isn't blue. My recipients have to 'cut and paste' my links to use them. With Explorer the links are blue and folks just 'click' on them. Is there a setting in Firefox to allow links to be 'clickable'?

Is there a setting to change to make included links in my emails true links instead of 'cut and paste' links?

I cannot "cut and paste" a link in Firefox RC-1, I can in the body of the page but not the actual link location at the top of the browser

I just found I can't repeat the problem, when I opened a new tab and submitted this question to you, the cut and paste of the links now work when I returned to the original page. I had tried it on at least 4 different links earlier.

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

Can't cut and paste in a web based e-mail service. (Not G-mail)

I belong to a membership site that is coaching me on e-mail marketing. I want to cut and paste different bits of information and ad links etc. to emails that I am sending out through the site.
For some reason, Firefox will not allow me to cut and paste when I am in this particular site??
I can cut and paste in Microsoft Word and other programs with no problem. But when I'm on this particular site it's no deal.
This is very frustrating. What can I do to resolve the problem.

I've had this happen a couple of times. Seems it just gets a bit borked sometimes.
Best thing to do is close Pages (or whatever), then do an iOS reset (hold power button then home button till screen goes blank and apple logo comes up and then let go).
Cut copy paste should work again as normal.

Multiple problems: can't open two windows, browser doesn't close although window disappears, and after working for a while I loose my ability to cut and paste or use drop down arrows

Maybe two weeks ago I discovered that I could no longer open two windows at a time (I can still open multiple tabs). I am also having problems with cutting and pasting, which is crucial to my on-line job. Plus, when I exit Firefox, it doesn't always shut down, so then when you go to re-open, of course, it won't (unless you go into process and turn it off). I have re-installed multiple times and I have also used restore. Nothing seems to be fixing this and I really, really don't want to use IE, especially for work.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your 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")

Maybe also do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. 
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
