However, I didn't find that it worked well at all. It underlined words but the reply window still only allowed "cut/copy/paste" to show when right clicking so you couldn't check for alternate spellings, plus many of the extensions that I enjoyed with my older version of Firefox didn't work in the newest version IE: translate page.

So yesterday I decided to reinstall my old faithful version 1.5.0.8.  But now I'm having a problem here that I never had before.  When I right click to paste some text, I get the small popup window with "paste" in it, but when I select it I get another popup telling me that my browser security settings are preventing me from pasting and that I have to use CTRL V in the small popup for it to be added to the reply window.

See the image attached.

Can someone tell me what I need to change in my browser options so that I can simply right click and paste directly into the reply window like I was able to do before?

I've never had a popup window like the one shown in your pic, however, I did have a copy/paste security issue with firefox on this site a while ago. I cured it by turning on javascript in Tools/Options -->General Tab.

I couldn't right click/paste without doing this and had to ctrl/v everything.

Edit: Ignore the above !! I just tried pasting and got the security issue thing. So I hve the same problem.

Heh, I feel dumb now :)

Your post jogged my memory. I searched the Community Forum and found a post about enabling copy/paste in Firefox.

I downloaded the file given, changed it to "user.js" and now I can paste here without a popup window.

I've been having these pop ups the last week too!! Both here at home and on my pc at work so it's a rendo issue not a browser one 'cos I'm on IE7 anyway!
I found a work around though so it's not an issue anymore, don't know why they're here though and what their purpose is!!
They don't pop up anywhere else, only here!

I have the same screen.

After watching at my fire fox setings like a monkey in a old rusty watch, I desided to use ctrl-v.

But I go take a look into that link.

Meh - I just use CTRL-X (cut), CTRL-C(copy) and CTRL-V(paste). They work just fine.

I see it on the Linux version too... no biggie though - the keyboard shortcuts are faster when I'm typing anyway.

/P

Option-c, option-v, option-x work fine on the Mac version of Firefox. No need for the popup window.

Well I instaled the gizmo thingy addon.

And look and behold......it works

Wow, isnt that cyber tech programing stuff amazing.

Thanks for the tip.

That'll teach me to post when I'm half asleep, That should have been addressed to Acadia.
