I am trying to make edits to a website for our company. Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. Instead, I have to use control+c and control+v which doesn't always work. How do I enable the feature to be able to use the icons?

Are you saying the options in Edit (cut, copy, paste) are not working for you?

Are those toolbar buttons grayed?

Do the entries in the Edit menu look enabled if there is text selected or text on the clipboard?


Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

No, those toolbar buttons aren't grayed. When I try to copy and paste something, I get the following error message. "This feature is not currently available in FireFox. To turn this feature on, please click on the Help icon and follow instructions." But I am not sure where to go in the Help area.
