I need to use Rich Text editor for work in echalk so I can cut, paste, copy, etc. I followed your support instructions at mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html and http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles. I was able to find the profile directory, but there is no user.js file to enter the "allowclipboard" code into. Where is this file? I could not make a new one.

The mozilla.org page you referenced tells you if there's no user.js file, create one. The user.js file is just a simple text file you create yourself (e.g., with Notepad on Windows) that has a .js file extension.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file for details.

Be aware that Windows treats the .js file extension as hidden, so you won't see it unless you show all file extensions.

See "Hide extensions for known file types": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders

I tried this but it said the user.js file already existed.
