I upgraded my firefox browser and now I am unable to cut and paste in wordpress. It says: Copy/Cut/Paste is not available in Mozilla and Firefox. What?????? I use firefox as my browser for website development. Why would you take away the cut and paste feature????? And the suggestion it gives to fix the problem might as well be greek and I know some computer stuff.

This evening, I'm suddenly unable to use copy/paste in Wordpress when editing with Firefox. I also use Firefox because I am a developer.

Windows XP Pro v2002 SP3 Firefox 7.0.1

Behavior is odd. I can *sometimes* copy/paste in HTML window but never in wysiwyg editor. And, when I right click, the commands aren't available in context menu and wordpress edit post screen freezes until the browser is refreshed.

The information is in the clipboard because Ctrl+V pastes it into wp edit post screen just fine.

I have been referred to this link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Midas/Security_preferences

This sounds really stupid and/or very high-maintenance because, if I'm reading it correctly, I would have to add every single domain that I work on and there are more than a few with new ones coming through the pipeline everyday.
