~~red:Can not copy/cut and paste~~ The two most commonly reported causes of not being able to right-click, Copy and Paste are AVG Safe Search and Yahoo Toolbar. ~~red:Disable them and test~~ ( Tools > Add-ons > Extensions , locate and click on each of the add-ons, click Disable, when both are disabled, click Restart Firefox in the Extensions window.)
If the right-click context menu allows copy/cut and paste with the two add-ons disabled, then one or both of them is causing the issue. Re-enable the extensions one-at-a-time, restart Firefox and test. When the problem returns, you will know which is the culprit.

Update Java: your ver. 1.6.0.17; current ver. 1.6.0.20 (important security update 04-15-2010) (Windows users: Do the manual update; very easy.) See: Updating Java Do the update with Firefox closed.
If you have Windows Defender then get rid of that and you should be working good again. Won't allow you to uninstall from safe mode though. And then go to your registry (only for people that know how to do this. Please do not attempt if you know nothing about registries as you could delete very important stuff), find Windows Defender and delete.
