Hi- It seems I am suddenly unable to copy and paste anything from mozilla into other text editors (word, wordpad, notepad).

I am unable to use ctrl c or v, when trying to do Edit-copy or paste it seems as though nothing is "recognized" by Mozilla. I'm using a netbook running Win7.

In an effort to fix this problem I restarted firefox, started in safe mode, disabled all plugins, returned to default settings, and have done basically everything except for uninstalling and reinstalling.

Are there suggestions? I looked in older posts, but I also do not have the pushow.dll(or something like it) or the new.net(or comparable) malware so I cant get rid of that either.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Kyra

Firefox button > Web Developer > Error Console or {Ctrl + Shft + J} from the keyboard

Do you have any messages relating specifically to that error?
You can right-click a message and use Copy to get that message into the clipboard - and then Paste it here. (If that works.)

Beyond that, try a new Profile (don't Delete your current Profile).
