If there is still a problem, 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).
Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

This page has a code column and an output column. Where you have problems copying from? Also, are you using a built-in method such as
- select with the mouse
- Ctrl+c or right-click > Copy
or are you using a different method?
Are Copy and Paste in the right-click context menu grayed (disabled) ?
The left panel of the two seems to be a special editor (.monaco-editor) that comes with its own context menu with Copy and others.
- dom.event.contextmenu.enabled = true
Copy in this special context menu only works if this pref is enabled.
- dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled = true
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
