Hi, please try this : Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove your Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. This process does not remove your Firefox profile data (such as bookmarks and passwords), since that information is stored in a different location.

To do a clean reinstall of Firefox, please follow these steps: Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.

1. Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from this page) and save the setup file to your computer.
2. After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu and click the close button ).
3. Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
   • Windows:
     • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
     • C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
   • Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
   • Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
   1. Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
   2. Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found here.

WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.

Please report back to say if this helped you!

Thank you.

Try to use keyboard shortcuts in case the buttons on the web page or other methods aren't working.

• 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)

It is still not working.

Reply to cor-el: I use both right click and windows Ctl + features and it is still not working correctly. When I paste, the data that pastes is from 2 or 3 times before when I selected cut or copy, not the most recent cut/copy.

My cut/copy/paste works everywhere EXCEPT in Mozilla.

Reply to Pkshadow: I followed your steps and did the clean install but the problem still exists.

I used copy and paste with FF60.0.1 without issue. I think something during updates got corrupted and trying a clean install removing all previous FF and Mozilla folders then reinstall the latest version is only way to know what is causing the issue here.

Hi, bummer. Please give this a try : SAFE MODE

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen or hold down the Shift key) to see if that has effect.
