cannot copy and paste images from the web into Corel Draw

Attempting to copy and paste a jpg image from a client's website, for use in Corel Draw... Copy appears to work fine, and pasting into other programs like Windows Paint works, but paste to CorelDraw has no result.

I've seen where others would get the text URL but nothing happens when I hit paste.

Drag and drop imports the text name of the image.

Since Firefox 13, when you copy an image, Firefox places both the image data (bitmap data) and the URL of the image on the clipboard. I can see why you would get one or the other, but I can't think of why you would get nothing.

Did this just start in Firefox 22?

Some odd interactions have been noted between Firefox 22 and ZoneAlarm: when copying selected text in Firefox, the clipboard may end up blank a significant percentage of the time . But it sounds as though you have a different issue.

Do you have the same issue in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using

Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset)

Any difference?
