user.js fil ein 32.03 does not effect prefernces
User has FF 32.03- trying to edit user.js file to allow for javascript copy and paste
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "https://www.hccfl.blackboard.com"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess"); user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");
But while the prefs.js absorbs the changes it still does not correct the problem. Even though in 32.02 it does?

The "capability.policy" feature was removed in Firefox 29, so I'm surprised to hear it was working in Firefox 32.0.2. ??
There is a plan to implement a new clipboard permission, but I don't see any progress on it here: Bug #1012662 – implement click-to-copy and click-to-cut permissions (semi-trusted events).
Just a note about the bug tracking system: it's generally not helpful to add comments like "hurry up" to bugs, but you can register on the Bugzilla site and "vote" for them to be fixed. See:
Meanwhile, in most cases your user will find that you don't need a website's copy/paste buttons, but instead she or he can use one of these methods:
- To copy, select text, then either:
- right-click it > Copy
- Ctrl+c keyboard shortcut
- To paste, click to position the cursor, then either:
- right-click > Paste
- Ctrl+v keyboard shortcut
These two methods work thoughout most of Windows, and if one doesn't work the other usually does.
I understand this is not a complete replacement, since the site probably cannot intercept this kind of paste and clean out bad formatting tags (which presumably is one of the benefits of letting the site access the clipboard). But at the moment, it's all I've got.
If ctrl-v and ctrl-p, or right clicking worked I wouldn't be here.
This code fixes it in 32.02 but not 32.03
Is there any way to modify these preferences?
My guess is that something else has changed that is unrelated to those preferences because as far as I know, the "allowclipboard" permission has been out of the code base since Firefox 29.
I think the allowclipboard permission may have been deprecated but not removed until 32.03. This would make logical sense as there is no difference in the two versions of FF except this issue.
Wonderful
RightToClick {web link} Stops javascript annoyances such as forbidden right click, forbidden text selection or cascading dialog boxes.
