I did according to the instructions RE: cut and paste, still does not work.

This is what is shown as my profile directory
/Home/davidlisle/.Mozilla/firefoxsa4u14wa.default-1390261301661

It's the user.js, I created in accordance with the online instructions page:

// This file can be used to configure global preferences for Firefox
// Example: Homepage
pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.linkedin.com/");
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");

However, the data but followed instructions do not produce the expected results.
Right now I see myself forced to use another browser as I work a lot on the line and I 'should' be able to copy / paste. If you can respond in a timely and a solution, I'll continue with firefox, I like. Otherwise, my frustration level has peaked and interest in firefox is rapidly declining.

I should be able to accomplish this task with simple steps, not an eternity of troubleshooting your installation bad 'protection '. I am equally sure that many others have no problem, I do however.

I have provided some basic information about this machine, if you need something specific, I'm sure I'll be happy to hand it to you.

You need these lines in user.js allow the site www.linkedin.com access the Clipboard:

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.linkedin.com/");

Use keyboard shortcuts if the buttons on the web page or other methods do not work.

  • Copy: Ctrl + C or Ctrl + insert (Mac: command + C)
  • Paste: Ctrl + V or shift + insert (Mac: command + V)
  • Cut: Ctrl + X or shift + delete (Mac: command + X)
