and paste. is it just me? Or does anyone else have this problem. For example, I can't copy and paste this paragraph to paste to another bb. BUT, I CAN copy and paste the address from the bar above and paste it here. Just nothing in the body of the windwow. Is it just me?

How are you going about copying? Right click, menu bar, keyboard shortcut?

Check for Windows Updates and do another check for an update to Firefox. One thing about Firefox, the add-ons can affect basic processes in the program. I've experienced that a number of times. If all is updated, disable all of your extensions and see if it works.

Hi cynic!

I try to highlight and right click and nothing happens. Can only highlight.
I've tried to use the edit button at the top and it won't copy or paste. I don't know what the keyboard shortcut is. and I have NO clue about extensions! lol
thank you for answering!

Firefox copy and paste acting up

Well I'm in safe mode now and can copy and paste. The other day I added an add-on and I don't know what the name of it was, or how to find out what it was or how to just diable it or delete it once I find it. I'm thinking it is 'smart' something. I noticed that when I was surfing Garden Web that when I got toward the bottom of the page one list of threads that I could scroll on down and read pages 2,3,4, etc. Additionally whenever I would highlight something to either copy or do choose doing a Google search, there was a small box that came up at the end of the highlighted material, and it had 4 icons in it. I think they might have been for Twitter or Facebook or some other silly stuff I don't do. Help please...Suggestions? Sue

I get the warning also that the certificate is expired or has errors or something like that each time I go to any page here to log in, I have been just clicking on continue on anyway and log in. I have found if I am logging in on a lot of different devices I will have to log in more often, I use my tablets, phone and pc regularly, at times I get the log in requirement on one, it also happens with other sites, my guess is their detection sees a new device or browser and want to make sure I really am who I say I am.

It sounds like your "Add-Ons" dialog box launched on the 'Get Add-Ons' tab. Did you check Extensions or Plug-Ins? That should also be listed on the Sidebar.

When you highlight it try pressing and holding the ctrl key, then press C and let off both. Then try pasting it into something. Ctrl+v will paste or use edit paste, or right click and paste.

The add-ons (aka extensions) in your browser will show under Tools/Add-ons.
