Why I cannot copy/paste any web links and texts? With Internet Explorer its possible, but with Firefox not.

When someone sends me a link in MSN and I try to copy it to the adress bar, it wount happen. Same is with textes in Firefox.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
Another possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that,.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

  • Since update, cannot copy/paste from web to doc.

    I highlight text from internet, then copy (either by key command or right click), then go to paste in a word doc. and the text does not paste into the doc. Copy and paste from website to website does work - only fails when I try to copy paste from the web to a doc. In fact, the word doc will remember the last thing I copied from a non-web source and paste that.

    Note - I have restarted with add-ons disabled, I have restarted in safe mode. I have made sure that about:config setting for javascript and clipboard are enabled.

  • How to "copy & paste" part of an article, like on Internet Explorer?

    I often read an article or whatever, and would like to copy part of it and paste it and be able to print only the part I am interested in.
    Also, I don't even know what a "bookmark" is...?? Which has been in several of the so-called fixes.

    A Bookmark is a saved web address, like an Internet Explorer Favorite.
    On most websites, selecting and copying is very straightforward. You should be able to:
    * Select what you want to copy using your mouse
    * Copy the selection using either:
    ** Ctrl+c (universal Windows shortcut)
    ** right-click > Copy
    ** menu (either the orange Firefox button or the Edit menu) > Copy
    Then you should be able to paste where you like. You can try it on this page. Any luck?
    Please note that to copy an image, you'll have better luck right-clicking the image and using Copy Image.
    If particular sites are a problem, that could be because of a style rule or script that blocks copying. If you give the URL of a problem site, a volunteer can suggest a workaround.

  • Cannot copy paste from Outlook 2011 to anything

    I'm on 10.9.5 and cannot copy/paste text from emails in Outlook:Mac 2011 to other apps like textedit or textwrangler or MS Word. I've tried killing pboard in the Activity Monitor and from command line, and tried stopping and starting com.apple.pboard with launchctl. Restart has fixed this in the past, but that is not a good solution.
    Looking at other threads here and other places, it seems like a pervasive issue that goes beyond Outlook. Any other known fixes?  Thanks-

  • Suddenly I cannot copy paste between applications.

    Has anyone dealt with this issue? I used to be able to copy and paste between all my applications.
    Now I can copy from one web browser to another, and from one Word document to another, but I cannot copy/paste from the web to Word or vice versa.
    I'd appreciate some help!

    What Mac do you have, with what version of OS X?

  • I cannot use a website I need to use, with Firefox 5.0. So, I need to uninstall and go back to 3.5 or 3.6. Please advise. Also, my control panel locks up since Windows Explorer has pbms. Which is why I am using Firefox instead. Thanks for any help!

    ''I figured it was going to be FAFSA causing your problem.''
    Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x to your hard drive for that one website. It won't affect your current Firefox installation at all. <br />

  • I am trying to copy and paste a 734mb film on to an 8GB usb but it keeps saying "It cannot copy as there isn't enough space". How is this possible? And how do I put the film on the usb?

    Look at the USB stick in Disk Utility and check whether it may be partitioned or have other software on it taking up space.

  • I cannot copy/paste in CS3

    Pretty basic functionality we're talking about here.
    I also cannot copy back and forth between Ps and Ai.
    Am I missing some "cool new feature"?
    I already tried trashing the prefs.

    There are many copy/paste issues between Adobe apps. It's worse in CS3, but constantly and inexplicably I will no longer be able to copy shapes from Illustrator and paste them into After Effects as masks.
    I have to restart one or the other-- often times both-- in order to make it behave again... but of course it only works 2 or 3 times and stops again.
    I have wasted so much time with this in the last couple of days I cannot even tell you. And add to that the fact that Illustrator just hangs on quit about 75% of the time for no reason and must be force killed, which just takes even more time out of the day.

  • Cannot copy/paste from email

    I cannot copy/paste info contained in email. Elsewhere my browser works fine

    Thanks guigs2 and cor-el. I used keyboard shortcuts.
    It's not related to a specific site. The issue is general.
    I've not used Firefox in safe mode, and unfortunately, don't know what it is.
    What's puzzling is that this only started recently, never was an issue before, and is not fixed with the update. Perhaps it's related to the webmail programme I used that's provided by my website host. The programme is Horde.
    (BTW, the copy, paste problem does not seem to occur in Chrome.)
    I recently installed an add-on to Firefox for copying. It mostly works.

  • Cannot copy paste in numbers 09

    I imported a fairly large spreadsheet from excel. then I createda new document by "saving as". And now I am not able to copy paste any data! Any one familiar with this problem? I would appreciate any help.

    We are not sooth sayers so with so few infos we can't help you.
    Send the original XL document and the Numbers one to my mailbox.
    With them, I guess that it will be easy to discover what is wrong.
    You are supposed to get my address thru a click on my blue name.

  • Is there a problem with copy paste using Ctrl+insert and Shift+insert

    This is a swing application.
    initially i was using java 1.3 and the copy paste using Ctrl+insert and Shift+insert was working
    then i migrated the same to java 1.5 and this functionality got messed up.

    Include the following in your initialization code, before you create any components:     InputMap im = (InputMap)UIDefaults.get("TextField.focusInputMap");
        im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("control INSERT"), DefaultEditorKit.copyAction);
        im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift INSERT"), DefaultEditorKit.pasteAction);
        im.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift DELETE"), DefaultEditorKit.cutAction); You'll need to add the appropriate imports, too: import javax.swing.InputMap;
    import javax.swing.KeyStroke;
    import javax.swing.UIDefaults;
    import javax.swing.text.DefaultEditorKit; It seems they accidentally removed those bindings from JTextField under MetalLookAndFeel in JDK 1.5. They've been restored in JDK 1.6.
