I attempt to paste data into an e-mail "reply" or a message post at:

http://www.lotterypost.com

AND this is the page that pops up:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Midas/Security_preferences

I've followed the directions but the user.js file is not on my computer. How do I download the file or how do I create the file on my computer.

The instructions are not very clear. I only have the option of creating a NEW FOLDER, not a file.

Are there any better instructions somewhere else?

This is getting very old having to open up Internet Explorer just to go to http://www.lotterypost.com.

cor-el,

The AllowClipboard Helper "Addon" did the trick. Everythings working as it should now.

Thank you

The simplest way is to create a text file in notepad, add your entries and then rename the text file to user.js after which copy it to your profile root directory in the same place as prefs.js
