Ctrl C and V do not work in Firefox 4.0.1. Had the same problem in FF 3, but not in earlier versions. How hard can it be for FF to fix this?

The keyword shortcuts of copy/paste (Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V) do not work in Firefox. This problem has been going on for months and every new version still carries this bug.

I have confirmed this through many friends. Hitting Ctrl+C once won't work, but if you do it like 3 or 4 times, it *might* work. It is also a problem to "import" data from an external file (World, Notepad, IE, etc), into Firefox. The browser hardly ever recognizes that the CTRL button is held, and will often only enter the letter "v", in my attempts to PASTE with shortcut Ctrl+v.

Firefox, please resolve this soon. You are ahead in so many areas, this bug most be extremely easy to fix.
