    Default Off Topic - Mozilla

    Sorry for the off topic post but I know there are numerous Mozilla Firefox fans here and I was hoping one of you could help.
    I've recently started using Mozilla on a temporary basis to see if I should switch from IE. All is good except for one important thing: Using Mozilla with my mail client, AOL, and at other times I don't have the ability to PASTE. I can copy but not paste. It's not even listed as an option when I right-click. It's a major inconvenience and one that would keep me from switching if indeed it is not available. However, I can't imagine that is the case. With all that a person can do with mozilla, why would that common practice be removed?

    I'm hoping that, as often happens, I'm just missing the obvious.

    Any and all help is appreciated.

    Lovely known bug with the clipboard and copy/paste due to security policies in the application.

    lol.. yeah, I HATE that amongst other known issues. I get around the problem by using 'Edit' in the FF browser and using the 'Paste' function from there.

    I can't really explain why, but cut and paste works for me on Firefox.

    They had an explanation page that used to pop up after attempting to paste about where to go into some registry files or something and make changes which was a maze nightmare of a joke trying to figure out. Never seemed to work before... but...

    I did recently download the Google tool bar for Firefox and since Mozilla and Google are such good friends maybe that had something to do with it ... but I don't know...
