When I open my hotmail or a website with FF and try to copy and paste to a MS Works document it tells me that MSWorks has stopped working and the availabe options only shut off MS Works. When I do the same thing with IE9 it copies and pastes just fine. Indications seem to me to be a problem with FF. I don't remember this being a problem a short time ago but it is NOW. Any fixes?

Ask Microsoft support forum, no? It sounds like an issue with MS Works that fails to accept pasting from FF.
