Cut/copy and paste NOT working, NO malware and registry change only temporary in FF 18.0.2

I followed EACH suggested 'remedy' for FAILURE cut/copy - paste function in FF 18.0.2 without success and am entirely whereas FF UNINSTALL and go back to IE8. There are MANY features FF I love and want to keep it, but the simplest things become so frustrating...
SUCH as: 1) Clipboard worked ONLY SPORADIQUEMENT, no matter what I do, 2) why don't y at - there no history URL when you use the PRIVATE BROWSING so I can trace my own steps if necessary, press BACKSPACE or by clicking the arrow to the left. By pressing the arrow to the left ONLY goes a certain number of steps back and loses my point of departure, 3) why the EMPTY the CACHE NOT button erase the HISTORY. for example, I go to a website, say email Yahoo, do my thing and disconnect, and then click HOME, then clear the Cache and enter Yahoo email to a different e-mail account and Yahoo acknowledged my attempt and me in my email previous username. Shouldn't happen, in my opinion. No help here, NO running AV/malware detection/clean and remove registry entries since NONE OF THESE do something positive?

  • Envy 17-j020us, cannot cut/copy and paste in the file Explorer

    I can cut/copy and paste the url and the text to speech, etc, but I am unable to cut/copy and paste files in Windows File Explorer. I tried malwarebytes and virus programs running. HP support has tried to access remotely to identify the problem without success. Y at - it another option in addition to a factory reset or restore point? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi jdavis33811,

    Have you tried the three methods of cutting and pasting? Using the keyboard shortcuts CTRL-X CTRL-V, right click on the file and selecting cut, then using the tape from the file Explorer / File menu.

    If you have tried all three, the next thing to try is a boot minimum to see if something is in the background to block the order. A clean boot loads Windows with the drivers and the minimal software. This link of Support technique Microsoft will show you how do it.

    Once you have made the clean boot try three methods of cutting and pasting. If it works the next step is to go back to msconfig (see Microsoft link above) and enable half the services you shut-off valve to the clean boot. Then try to cut and paste again. Keep half of the remaining services that allows until you cannot cut and paste, then disable half of the services that you just active. This, until what specify you what service has problem.

    If after all that you still have a problem then the next step would be to backup your files on an external hard drive or a USB flash drive and then doing a complete System Recovery.

    Consider by text blocks, you hear the columns rather than rows. The answer is no.

    But it takes, you can generate sql statements by dragging the table from the tree of the browser in a worksheet.

  • Since the download 29.0.1 I can no longer cut, copy and paste. So frustrating!

    Often, I copy and paste items in the forums of the site without problem. However, since I upgraded to 29.0.1 I can do is no longer only and it's so frustrating. I tried to do the extra steps click on your copy and paste items, but it does not help. I even tried downloading the AllowClipboard Helper, but that no longer works. I never needed this add-on in the past.

    This is ridiculous.

    How to get back to version 28? It worked well but had to just go ahead and 'fix' and I hate the new version. I could download the Restorer Classic theme which helped a lot, but some things I couldn't do as version 28.

    Hi karenbills, in fact, the fox icon is part of the title bar. To display the title bar, you can use customize and click the button at the bottom left of the title bar. However, it adds another line of height to the toolbar area, which I think is the reason for which it does not appear by default.

  • Copy function does not work; HP F380 all-in-One

    Printing and scanning functions are working properly, but the copy does not work.  He stopped abruptly.  I installed a new cartridge, nothing helps.  Also unplugged printer and wait 60 seconds before I plugged it again.  Still no copy.   Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Solved!  I discovered that the printing and scanning functions used the color cartridge that printed as a dark blue.  When I ran the copy function using the copy color button, it worked.  Guess I had a bad black cartridge.

    How can I report this as RESOLVED?
