Laptop - Mac book air 13 OS - Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 Firefox - 46.0.1

I can not copy anything from Firefox to be used outside of it nor past anything from outside into Firefox. Copy&Past between other applications works fine. Tried running in Safe Mode - did not helped.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
