Confirmed I cannot do this either. However if I save the image as I can copy the image to other places.

Hi guigs2,

What will it take to get an official response from a Mozilla employee concerning this issue? Any thoughts?

Hi garvincottle, Thank you for your question, you have reached the Help Desk for SUMO and I understand that the steps taken to copy and paste images in Firefox are proving unsuccessful.

In order to reproduce what you are seeing can you please provide the steps you are taking to copy and paste the images and please provide an example link to where you are preforming these steps.

With this information we can investigate a solution for the issue you are running into and help other users in the process.

Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks guigs2,

I've found a solution, there was an entry in the .htaccess file of the website I had built which Firefox treats differently (maybe more correctly) than other browsers. In some cases, this code will prevent some versions of Firefox from copying images.

This entry in the root - public html directory .htaccess file was to blame: Rewrite rule.*\.(jpeg | jpg | png | gif)$ - [F,NC]

To comment it out (deactivate it) place a # (pound sign - without parenthesis!) at the beginning of it's line: "#" Rewrite rule.*\.(jpeg | jpg | png | gif)$ - [F,NC]

"F" means Forbidden and NC means "No Case" (i.e. it doesn't differentiate between upper and lower case characters).

It was also not allowing my webhost mail system to mail inline html images.
