Clipboard.AutoCopy = false in topic: config,-no effect. selection of text always copy to the Clipboard

I have a custom firefox extension that captures data on the Clipboard, as well as a selected text in the document in firefox. It is, whenever I select the text, it replaces the data in the Clipboard with the data of selected text. The Clipboard is always mirroring my text selection. I need to turn it off. Alternatively, make sure that the selected text gets sent to primary Clipboard, while firefox extension accesses Clipboard. (I guess that nsIClipboard retrieves data from the Clipboard vs primary school-press-papers).

I am convinced that selected text is poured in the Clipboard and not the primary Clipboard. Selected text always overrides everything I copied using Ctrl + C command. Central to the mouse click or Ctrl + V out same thing.

I have changed the default setting in about:config to clipboard.autocopy value= false. I have restarted my system and selected text still saves to clipboard.  This issue does show up on this thread here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854565. But it is checked as solved. Apologies if this question should have been posted there. I am using Linux Mint 17, Firefox 32.0.3

Any help much appreciated.

I solved the problem. Firstly, I've updated all my software, which had no effect. Then I realized that another extension can add this feature. And voila! I'm sure that search the fastest was the culprit. I disabled the addon, even though this feature can probably be disabled.

I hope this helps future users who face this same problem.

  • After effects CC doesn't always start on the Mavericks

    This seems to be a common problem but mine is a little different

    Probably because of my lack of experience of mac or Adobe products!

    OK, my problem started from a window pops up saying "Install CUDA 5.0 or later and restart the computer" or something like that when I opened first after effects CC.

    So I googled and found the NVIDIA site and downloaded the 5.0 CUDA, Yes, I've changed my preference of security on mac to allow applications to download from unidentified developers and then completed the installation, easy! ... I thought.

    After the computer restarts I have re-opened AE, it loads a bit with this fancy purple intro 3D picture, but this time he opened with nothing but the "*" noise (noise of the error?).

    Everything I see is gray frames with the tab 'Render tail'... no welcome no screen, no tools, no screen «Install CUDA»... "either.

    The buttons on the top (file, editing, Composition, layer etc.) are clickable, but the content of each button is grey apart from the 'help '.

    I tried the update, uninstall and reinstall of AE, stopping and restarting the computer, but no luck.

    Is that what someone has / had the same problem? I don't know what to do next

    I apologize for the long history and would be much appreciated if someone could help me

    What you can see in this screenshot, it's all I have lol.

    First: You seem to have started the rendering engine After Effects, not the main After Effects application. Try to start the application After main Effects, not the application of rendering engine.

    Second: You seem to have misunderstood the message on CUDA. This message just means that one feature (which is obsolete) depends on specific software and hardware - a specific type of GPU Nvidia and CUDA.

    What GPU do you have? If you have installed CUDA on a non - Nvidia GPU, it can cause serious problems.

  • How can I get rid of persistent Imgur prefs in topic: config?

    Over the past months, I have had the Imgur.com site host a few images (uploaded from my hard drive) for me so that I could put links to them in some messages I posted to usenet.

    Please note two things:
    1. I have never had the Imgur Uploader (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imgur-uploader/) extension installed, ever.
    2. I always clean my cookies when I quit Firefox.

    This morning, looking around: config, I noticed the following two preferences:

    devtools.gcli.imgurUploadURL (the value https://api.imgur.com/3/image)
    devtools.gcli.imgurClientID (the value to a unique identifier that I post here)

    WHAT. THE. DEVIL?

    I closed Firefox, waited a while and then opens the my profile folder prefs.js in a text editor. I then manually deleted the two parameters of this file and saved it. When I started Firefox upward and checked if the two parameters were right where they had been in all: config and with the original values. I went up to try twice, with the same result both times.

    Then, with Firefox running, I deleted the values of these two prefs in topic: config, then stop and restart Firefox. Values have remained deleted, but the prefs are always listed in everything: config. So I tried right click on preferences and selecting "Reset" on two of them. Only, which restores the values and does not delete the preferences.

    Does anyone know how these two prefs put in my file prefs.js in the first place and why they keep coming back?

    Mozilla has some sort of arrangement with this Web site or am I infected with some kind of malware that I picked up on the site Web of Imgur?

    It is possible for a Web site change my prefs.js file and store information in this location, then cookies are the least of my worries!

    After reading this bug:

    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=992386

    I found this:

    https://groups.Google.com/Forum/?fromgroups#! Imgur/AJcTXtiOMPk/topic

    In the second link, Christian Heilmann described how two preferences are used in the devtools:
    _______________________________________________________________________
    The story is this: Firefox development tools have a great feature when you press SHIFT + F2 you get a command line to do all sorts of things with the browser. One of them is 'screenshot', which takes a screenshot of the page. "screenshot - fullpage" scroll the entire page for you and takes a picture of him. Now I was proposing to offer a flag - imgur to automatically download the screenshot on imgur using the API but with 400 million users, we will hit the limits quickly enough.
    _______________________________________________________________________

    So if you have a page to scroll through to display everything, you can use this tool to make an image of it without having to take screenshots of portions and then photomerge all together. Then a developer can store the image on Imgur and have a link to the image is displayed with other developers.

    Now I understand what is happening and I think I'll just let the prefs only. OTOH, since I'm not a developer, removing their values have no effect on anything.

    Please consider this topic resolved and thanks anyway.

  • When I open a new tab, I get a search result 'AVG '. I already made the topic: config reset but it still doesn't work. How can I get a blank tab open?

    When I open a new tab, it always comes to the top:

    I already made the topic: config reset and it does not have the new blank tab or go to a specific URL I type in address. What can I do to get a new empty tab? Thank you.

    Change the browser.newtab.url preference, or it is ignored?

    If it changes after you exit and then restart Firefox, look for a user.js file, as described in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    If it is ignored, are looking for an extension that is unwanted in the Add-ons page:

    CTRL + SHIFT + a button orange Firefox (or tools) > Add-ons

    On the left side, click Extensions, and then disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?

  • How can I return 'Default' Firefox (topic: config) without losing all my modules and Persona settings?

    I changed a couple of parameter in previous versions, to speed things up. These parameters have been "inherited" from version 6.x which I think has more need.
    I want to return my Firefox settings by default, (processing pipeline, server calls etc) but don't want to lose my Add-ons, Extensions or Persona settings.

    Creating a profile will return all of your default settings of Extension/add-ons, you will need to re - install the Extensions/additional custom modules in the new profile

    Most of the settings that you have probably set different values are in about: config, then filter = network.http (I watch 24 elements in Firefox 6, all with the 'status' = default)

    • Those that are displayed in the lower panel in fat and as a user set are items that have been modified by you and/or an extension/add-on.
    • You can right-click on these elements, in your case those typically shown as "whole" types and choose "Reset".
    • Those who re - appear after restart of Firefox are possibly be changed/added by an Extension; There were / are many extensions to change these settings
    • After "Reset", not with an empty value (there should be none in network.http unless you added), will be deleted when you restart Firefox. those are elements that are not the default set of preferences hidden in your version.
    • Make a list of what you change hidden preferences (topic: config) so that you can reverse these changes later if needed.
    • List of preferences network.http: _ http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox: _FAQs_:_About:config_Entries #Network.

  • 15 version no longer allows to copy to the Clipboard

    We have put signed.applets.codebase_principal_support in FireFox to allow the copy to the Clipboard of Windows XP and Windows 7. It worked fine until 15 version and is no longer works. If we are unable to use this feature, we will have all our users convert to IE or another browser that allows to make the copy.
