[Not a ZC bug] Cannot past in HTMLarea

[Ivanna]

I do not know if this is a bug or security thing but I have not seen before.

I am using using: v1.3.9h

I open Admin area > Tools > Define pages editor
I use HTMLarea
When I try to paste into this area I have the following message:

"Unprivileged scripts cannot access Cut/Copy/Paste programatically for security reasons. Click OK to see a technical note at mozilla.org which shows you how to allow a script to access the clipboard".

I have been able to paste like this before but not any more. When I click OK this message opens telling me to make security changes. I do not have permission to make security changes, also it says this is Demo Page!!! I do not think this should be Demo Page.

"To protect users' private information, unprivileged scripts cannot invoke the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands in the Mozilla rich text editor, so the corresponding buttons on the Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work. To enable these functions for purposes of the demo, you must modify your browser preferences".

Thank you for your help

This is not a zencart issue, it is a feature of firefox. You can over-ride this behaviour by following the instructions than come with the message.

You could try doing your admin in MSIE or Chrome, where (I believe) this function is not present.

Ok, I do not see this message before today and I use FF. perhaps they make a security update or something. I will ask my boss to change.

thank you
