dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled is consistently false when I start firefox. I need it to be true and am constantly having to go back into about:config and change it. Even then, I sometimes can't copy and paste. I don't know what you've done in recent versions but I want the old behavior back.

This is firefox 36.0.1 installed via the FreeBSD (10.1 stable) package.

You have the Disable clipboard manipulations extension, so it is likely caused by that extension.

Note: The same functionality is now built into Firefox, you can just change the dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled preference manually.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
