Copy Function Doesn't Work After Updating user.js File

I tried the Copy Function at the web site www.gogvo.com and got an error message from Firefox that Copy wasn't enabled. I got more info and created a user.js file in my Profile with the above site inserted following directions on the Troubleshooting Help page. I restarted Firefox but still can't use the Copy Function when I right-click a highlighted field to Copy. I have no problem when I use Internet Explorer 9 with my Windows 7 Home Premium. I have the latest version of Firefox. I have no problem copying on other sites, such as MSN Hotmail.

Does { Ctrl + C } work?

If not, get rid of that user.js file and install this extension to set those permissions.

I tried {Ctrl+C} and that doesn't work. I deleted the user.js file and downloaded the allowclipboard-helper file extension, and that doesn't work. I only have this Copy/Paste problem HERE: GVO Responder Opt-in Message Edit and don't have any Copy/Paste problems anywhere else. Is there another solution to try?
