I've tried adding your script in 'user.js' (Firefox Profile) but still can't import new photos or copy/paste the regular updates I need to make within my web site. What Now???

When trying to update my website, after installing Firefox 4.0.1 I was unable in import new photos or cut/paste within the 'admin' section of my Zenphotos website mono-art.com.au

I followed your link to: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Midas/Security_preferences There was no "user.js" file in Firefox/profiles, so I created one and added your recommend codes: user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", " http://www.mono-art.com.au/ "); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");

I still can't import photos or cut/paste. What do I do now???

You didn't say Firefox 4.0.1 is only a Betta version.

Would it be best to return to my previous version? I need to update my web site and this is a real problem for me. user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");

I'm not very familiar with that particular policy. Did you have it working in Firefox 3.6? If so, there could be a different problem in the TinyMCE editor used in Zenphoto.

I think in the short term, it would be easier to use the keyboard shortcuts to cut, copy, and paste rather than the little buttons.

Cut: Ctrl+x
Copy: Ctrl+c
Paste: Ctrl+v
