After editing user profile (user.js) rich text editing still does not allow cutting/pasting

I am using the TinyMCE wysiwyg editor on a web site and have added the following to my user.js file:

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://office.iris.ac");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.mozilla.org");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");

My full web address is http://office.iris.ac:8080/Drupal but even this still does not allow for cutting and pasting. The Mozilla rich text demo does work.

I am using FF 3.6.10

That doesn't work.

You can only have one pref setting of capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites , so in your case the second line with http://www.mozilla.org will override the first with the office.iris.ac server.
If you need multiple URLs then separate them with spaces, but in your case you do not need the mozilla site that is shown as an example.

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://office.iris.ac");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");
