Firefox is not enabling me to cut and paste when I'm working on my business website. I can tried the key commands and they didn't work either. The instructions that were linked for Changing the preferences in Firefox were very complicated and even when I thought I found the correct place to add the user_pref lines to allow clipboard, the message was DO NOT MODIFY THIS PAGE. I didn't want to add or change anything for fear of screwing this up. What I need are step by step instructions. Really baby steps. How to find the profile and the js.file, what is text editor? If you could take instruct from start to finish that would be great. Thank You!

You cannot cut items out of a web page with a browser. You can copy and paste, however.

Use the keyboard shortcuts if the buttons on the web page or other methods aren't working.

  • Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert (Mac: Command + C)
  • Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert (Mac: Command + V)
  • Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete (Mac: Command + X)
