Hi. Here is a note I sent to the webmaster of this website. Thought you might be interested. This has been a chronic problem for some time with many many websites. Hi,

I presume you know about this: Your website (e.g. MyMaxim Login | Maxim Integrated www.maximintegrated.com/en/mymaxim/login.html?resource=%2Fen%2Fstorefront%2Fmy-orders.html&$$login$$=%24%24login%24%24&j_reason=unknown&j_reason_code=unknown) does not work (in some cases) with the Firefox browser.

In fact, in forming this email it reports " Press Ctrl+V to Paste. Your browser doesn't support pasting with the toolbar button or context menu option.".For example, if I press "login" or "register", it does nothing. If I go to the MS Edge browser it works. Ctrl+V pastes "www.maximintegrated.com/en/mymaxim/login.html?resource=%2Fen%2Fstorefront%2Fmy-orders.html&$$login$$=%24%24login%24%24&j_reason=unknown&j_reason_code=unknown" which I copied from the link to the subject web page.

However, many of the other links work fine (e.g. product information, etc).

Assuming you know about this, could you tell me why? I've found this on many websites...and it's been the case for quite a long time now. But I've never found anyone who could tell me why. I'll go to Firefox with this too, but in case you know, I'd appreciate hearing from you...and Firefox might too.

Thanks...

That can happen if you try to paste content in a rich text (WYSIWYG) editor. Firefox doesn't allow websites to access the clipboard that way via JavaScript and you need to use the clipboard.

This issue doesn't have to do with cut-and-paste. I just quoted an error message. I am coming across many websites that ask you to fill out a form. They don't work correctly. Some of the fields you can enter. Some, maybe not. But in the end, there is no "submit" button to send the information. I can go to the "Edge" browser and everything works fine there.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection. You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.
