When I click on the picture in the album to make it full size I can't use the one click feature to copy the links when I'm using Firefox. The one click feature works in Internet Explorer but not Firefox. Is there any kind of fix for this? I would much rather use Firefox than IE.

I am slapping my forehead for not checking your plugin list. Yes, Shockwave Flash either is disabled (set to "Never Activate" on the Add-ons page) or completely missing.

You may already have run it down by now, but just in case.

You can open the Add-ons page using either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Plugins. If Flash is disabled, it will be at the bottom. If you can't set it to Always Activate, it may be too old.

To install a current version, you can visit: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer (make sure to uncheck any unwanted extras).

Hope it works!

Could you provide a link to a sample page where you are trying to do this?

My guess would be that it's related to Firefox's tighter security on websites reading or modifying the Windows clipboard, but someone should take a look before giving a diagnosis.

I don't know how to post the link for you to see, but a tech at photobucket said they are having some issues with photobucket and Firefoxe's latest update. She this was one of them. I was hoping that maybe it was a setting that i could change.

Thanks for the quick response!

When I use the Browse > Recent Uploads menu and click to a picture, there are boxes on the right (below an ad, usually) which turn yellow and say Copied if I click them. (Screen shot attached) These use the Flash Player plugin.

Is this the page giving you a problem?

Yes it is. I wonder if I should check my Adobe Flash player and see if it's working or needs updating? This is a new computer so maybe I should try that. Thanks!!!!

Yep, that was the problem. Works just like it should now. I would never have figured it out had you not mentioned adobe flash player. Thank you very much. Have a great evening!
