Since I upgraded from Firefox 8 to 9, rich text copy/paste doesn't work. Copying formatted text from MS Word or any other software into the Win XP clipboard then pasting into online apps such as Wordpress used to work. Now the pasted text is plain, with all formatting lost. Any way to overcome this?

As an aside, I really resent your release policy Mozilla. These new Firefox versions are full of bugs and constantly generating issues. Wasting me a lot of time and patience to get things back working. This is my last week on Firefox. If it doesn't run smoothly I'll opt for another browser.

Might not be related to your problem but some of your Plugins are out-dated

  • Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
  • When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)
