            If you are not comfortable with Firefox, use IE... its that simple!

            Otherwise if you still want to dig further to adjust Firefox to your needs, please use http://www.mozilla.org/support/#forums

            Thanks.

                Maybe you can answer why YOUR WEB EDITOR might not work with Firefox. Cant cut,paste,copy but it will work with IE. Before getting a smart a** answer like the last one maybe you have run into this before and have a solution? >:(

                  yikes! you are at like a 387998 on the anger meter... I need you to bring it down to a 2 or less. grin
                  First, direct your anger to the appropriate channel. This is not even MODx’s editor as you wrongly claim. It is TinyMCE by default, but other 3rd party plugins like FCK editor also exist for MODx.

                  Why don’t you figure out WHICH EDITOR YOU ARE USING and contact the authors of that rich text editor.

                    MODx’s editor is what I am using for my web site and was directed HERE for support. Why does the cut and paste not work when I edit my web site while using Firefox as my browser

                      What editor are you talking about?
                      Do you mean the *Content area when you create a new document (that is either TinyMCE or FCKeditor)? Do you mean the textarea you see when you edit or create a chunk, snippet, or plugin (that is just a form <textarea>)? Are you talking about a front end editor in either QuickEdit or the NewsPublisher snippet?

                      Please be specific. And if you could post which version of MODx you are using, the operating system you are using when you having the pasting problems, and your server stats (Apache, PHP, and MySQL versions)
