Copy/Paste when using the Content Editor with Firefox


There's a security setting in Firefox that prevents javascript-based HTML editors from accessing your clipboard.

There's a workaround using a Firefox add-on called AllowClipboard Helper https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/allowclipboard-helper/

Some documentation written by Ottawa University:
