To use the Cut/Copy/Paste icons in the HTML Editor using Firefox on a Windows XP or Windows 7 machine, these icons must be enabled. When not enabled, pressing either of these icons in the HTML editor brings up the pop-up message "Copy/Cut/Paste is not available on Firefox."
You can still perform the Cut/Copy/Paste operations by using the Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C,
or Ctrl+V keys. To enable the Cut/Copy/Paste icons in the HTML Editor:
1. Look for your Profile Directory on your machine's hard drive.
For Windows XP It has the form: C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\username2 .
username1 is your username on the machine. username2 is
another name, possibly similar to your username. For Windows 7 it
has the form:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\dirname .
username is your username on the machine. dirname varies
from machine to machine and is typically 8 random characters
followed by ".default". 2. Look for a file in the Profile Directory
named user.js. If there is no such file, create one with a text
editor. Edit (or insert into a newly created file) user.js so it contains these
lines: user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "site1 site2 site3
..."); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy",
"allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste",
"allAccess"); Here, site1 site2 site3 ... is the list of
one or more space-separated sites at which you wish to enable the Cut/Copy/Paste icons: for
example, https://uwmad.courses.wisconsin.edu
