Firefox versus IE
I didn't know where to put this, didn't see a TECHNICAL QUESTIONS thread or section: Does anyone else know of a fix or have problems with being able to cut/paste onto this forum while using Mozilla Firefox as a browser. I have to log out of Firefox and log in to this forum to copy writings through Internet Explorer (which in my opinion is a mecha for spyware, pop-ups and other unnecessary web junk). Just curious if anyone else has this problem and maybe knows of a fix.
If this is in the wrong section, sorry.

I just don't use IE and have no problems using copy and paste functions in Firefox (via keyboard shortcuts) to achieve my needs.
This problem is on the client side (you) and not the server side (writingforums) so I don't think there will be much the admin here can do for you.

Understood, but I have problems at work (with portable Firefox) and at home (regular Firefox) and still when I right-click here PASTE is not an option (with two different servers/IP, etc.).
I didn't really need an Admin's help (unless they have an answer to my problem), I was just curious if anyone out there has had this happen to them and am wondering if there is a solution or am I alone with this issue.

What happens if you use Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V ? I actually find this much better than clickable menus.
