I have online editors for our blog and websites for generating articles and blog posts. Different editors from different sites and programmers. Firefox doesn't allow me to use the cut/paste/copy functions with these editors. I get this message or something similar every time. "Your browser security settings don't permit the editor to automatically execute cutting operations. Please use the keyboard for that (Ctrl+X)"

Thanks for the response. I have added allowclipboard helper and it didn't correct the problem. Any other suggestions?
