There are specific sites where I am unable to copy and paste the text from the site. It is very frustrating because I want to move off of Chrome and use Firefox but this is a big barrier. I have 5 other employee's who would like to make the move to Firefox but the copy and past is a big barrier. Like I said Chrome and Edge both work.

Please supply the web page URL's so can test.

Some websites are using blocking so that can not even use Ctrl+C to get anything. For us to know need the URL's please.

Do the alternatives work?

  • 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)

Also try to update to 59.0.2 if you currently use an older version.

The website is https://cls2.bullhornstaffing.com, and I can copy text from the site within all the other browsers, Chrome, Edge & Explorer. Thank you for your help...I love Firefox and would like to use as my primary browser but unless I can copy and paste within this site or it is not efficient.

Many have had trouble with copy/paste between programs, Copy from the original. Paste to a 'word' type program. Now copy from 'word' to where you want to go.
