Firefox copy & paste problem
Does anyone else have a problem with the copy shortcut (Ctrl+C) in Firefox?
I'm currently using 2.0.0.4.
The shortcut seems to have a mind of its own. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I don't ever remember this happening for the longest time, but in the past month or two, it happens almost constantly. I'll go to paste something I thought I just copied, but I end up pasting something else I copied previously, then I have to go back and try it again. It's annoying as can be. :dry:
Anyone else have this problem? Know what's causing it? How to fix it?

Heh, I've thought I've experienced this a few times, I've always put it down to human error.

I think I have that problem once in a while too.
But in all programs all around windows.
The biggest annoyance is with MSN Messenger.
Also with the command prompt in 2000/xp/vista.

I had the same situation before. I just uninstalled the add-ons/extensions that I didn't use to let my FF "breathe" and all my shortcuts went back to normal.

Turn off "Always use ClearType for HTML" in advanced settings - multimedia. :whistling
Anyway, with regards to your original point, I used to get this ages ago, but it seems to have gone away recently. :idunno:
Possibly it's due to extensions, try and remove some you don't use much, and see if it fixes it.

Not a bad idea. I'll try turning one off per day or so and see if anything happens.
As for IE being blurry, I have tried all the usual fixes that Google points me to, but alas I could not resolve the problem. Even made a post about it right when IE7 came out. That's when it started.
I'm sure you remember when I was "Hater of the Firefox". I loved IE6 and would probably still use it if I weren't driven away by its horrible successor.
Misplaced menus, buttons moved from one side of the screen to the other, a blurry screen that I was never able to fix. Meh, I'm better off without it. :snooty:
I'll post back if any breakthroughs on the C&P thingy.
Re: Firefox copy & paste problem
I use firefox also, but on my MAC. I had the same problem with the CMD C button. I thought I was crazy. Glad to see that i am not the only one.

firefox -safe-mode
see if the problem remains (which shouldn't)
Re: Firefox copy & paste problem
Who can bother to do that every time I open a window tho'?
Nice to know, anyhow. ;)
Re: Firefox copy & paste problem
If you see that in safe mode the ctrl+c works as it should then you know that one extension is causing the problem, you don't have to launch firefox in safe mode everytime.
