Yeah....this has been bugging ma as well!

And the fix doesn't work explained on that page......much like the edit button here...or a lot of other stuff in the forums now.

Yeah, it's strange that it doesn't work.

But ctrl+c and ctrl+v work perfectly, so use that instead.

Most likely the tinymce devs have it coded to not even try, since unless someone has specially set it to allow, since javascript clipboard access is prohibited in Gecko browsers by default.

Anyway, you can still use Ctrl+X/C/V just fine, since those are manual user-triggered shortcuts.

Yeah....but those are a pain in the butt when you can rightclick faster.

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.mozilla.org");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");

Boy oh boy.  It's obvious why it doesn't work here.  Look at the second line only mozzilla.org is being added as allowclipboard.sites in their example.   You have to add "https://forums.wincustomize.com to get it to work here.

Argg! please fix the edit.

Don't know why I had to manually format that line????

This is a test.

It's working here.

This is what my user.js file looks like:

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

I also have javascript enabled.

FF3 right click copy and paste is working here for me on these forums.

Yep. It's a 'security measure' employed by Mozilla. Not an actualy bug in the editor or the forums persae, even though it may be percieved as a bug. The workarounds that BigDogBigFeet and kryo outlined do work pretty well (thanks guys).

Just a friendly request guys; please hold off on posting commentary like that in posts in the Forum Issues category. It's demoralizing and it doesn't help with resolving the actual issue, or helping someone to get a workaround working. It's also pretty off topic. There are quite a few posts right now about the edit button not working, and this particular post isn't the proper place to comment on that issue. Please help us out in this regard and have a little restraint. We know that issues can be frustrating, but the people on the other side of the screen are human too.

You're right.  Does no good to beat something to death in every forum post.

I know it 'will' work, hell I even posted the link to the page with the 'work-around'. I was just wondering if there was something that could be done on the sites end.  Thats all

Oh well SK your post didn't make that clear and Web's clearly said their example doesn't work at all.  If anyone can answer your question regarding how to get that facility to work over a number of web sites it would be Mozilla.  I'm not why you would think there was something that the site could do given that this is a security feature in FF3 that Mozilla has put in place that specifically was made to prevent a web site from controlling that function thru javascript.

As you say, I wouldn't bet on it. Being able to remotely override a security setting kinda defeats the point of having one.

I haven't asked them but, I'm thinking what SK indicated in his initial post would be their response and would go something like this. 

"You have to enumerate each site you want this facility to be active for in your user.js file"

I'm just saying.

I realize you guys are human Andrew...same here...and it certainly wasn't meant to demoralize anyone...thats a bit extreme...it just gets very frustrating.

And I tried that as well...but still a no go....user.js file looks that same and javascript enabled. I can copy text already submitted but can't copy anything I'm in the process of writing.

Getting a bit off topic Web doesn't sound like a forum issue more like a FF3 issue better addressed with Mozilla but here goes

Worked for me.

Right on topic....same concern as SK's.

Anyway....I have no idea what it is then! I have the same user.js file as you and its still not working. I can't copy what I'm typing here without using the ctrl-c and ctrl-v method. Oh well...lifes a bitch!

WebGizmos, I do know that the dev for TinyMCE is working on a way around that. He's working directly with the Moz people. I don't have any more information than that, but the guy is great and speaks with me directly. If/When a workaround for this becomes available for the editor, I'll make sure to make a big deal about it so you know.
