I am trying to use the copy and paste function on a website and I get a message window that states that firefox does not allow cut/copy/paste. I followed the link for help and created the js. text file like instructed with the website's URL. I still can not copy and paste. I can copy and paste on this website with internet explorer, but not with firefox. I can not perform all the website functions with the internet explorer brower and switching back and forth from browser to browser is very time consuming and a hassle. Please help me solve this issue.

Try this using extension - Allow Clipboard Helper - it makes that a lot easier to do and lessens the incidence of user error.
