Copy and Paste function no longer works in version 3.6
Ever since I upgraded to version 3.6 (finally after waiting for all of the crash bugs to be fixed after having to downgrade last fall) now the simple copy & paste function won't work when copying from one webpage to put link or paragraph of text into the body of an e-mail, through any of my web based mail services (Yahoo, Onebox, etc.)
So, when doing all of this version updating how could Mozilla allow such a simple function used in every program since the invention of the computer... to be disabled?

I just had to right click to get Google to search for this forum confirmation page after getting the forum confirmation e-mail, so that I could go into the address bar and delete the intermittent Google junk to get to the forum confirmation page to post this problem; since I can't even copy & paste the link to a Firefox browser tab.
What a bunch of ridiculous crap!!!
One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode with all add-ons disabled. If that solves the problem, see Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and possibly Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Im having this problem, and although it took time to tell because it is intermittent, it still happens when all add-ons & theme are manually disabled.
I would have to test safe mode a little bit longer to be sure it didnt happen there. It also affects other programs (like my metapad- notepad replacement) as long as firefox is open, but does not when the browser is closed, as far as I can tell. (version 3.6.12)
It may or may not be related, but there's also a flicker
(black screen in page window for an eyeblink) when firefox opens or returns from maximized state, and when it opens a menu.
Both bugs only recently started.
