Ive got a small but very annoying problem of now not being able to copy or cut or paste in firefox. Ive got the latest firefox which is 1.5.0.2 and have the windows updated fully. Virus/spyware scans done with no result. I even tried a fresh install of firefox but that didnt work. Downgrading to anything between 1.0 and 1.5.0.2 does not help either. I dont know what the )*£$% is up but its soooooo freaking annoying.

Im not the only one; take a look at http://forums.mozillazine.org in the BUGS section. Ive scoured the net for answers on how to fix this (there is a fix on that site apparently but I dont know how to apply the patch to firefox ... ??? ) but havent got much.

People of neowin ... PLEAE HELP !!

thanks

I used to have this problem alot in the 1.5 beta's, hardly ever anymore, but once in a while, veryyy rarely, I still do. I've always found the easiest way to fix it, is just minimize and then restore Firefox. I don't know why but that always fixes it for me.

Thanks for your input. From what I have read, there have been different copy paste bugs along the time but this one is totally new. Unfortunately the minimize trick doesnt work with this ... Ive had to revert back to IE7 because firefox has been so annoying.

Apparently this is the fix :-
