I am getting annoyed by Firefox!

I started noticing it after installing Firefox 1.502.
A lot of the times Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V doesn't work?
And they seems to change the ways the arrow keys on the keyboard works?
I uninstalled and reinstalled, and it is still the same issue?

I have never had this happen to me......

I've had copy and paste issues with FireFox for some time now. I'm not sure what the issue is.

Try Opera.

Apparently, this issue has been around for a while

And has been fixed for Firefox 1.8....

if they'd just release 1.8, then that would be good.

If you browse their FTP site you can see 1.8.xxx there but it's older than 1.7.xxx. That's odd, isn't it?

fixed1.8.0.4 means it'll be in Firefox 1.5.0.4
fixed1.8.1 means it'll be in Firefox 2

There are multiple branches being developed / maintained simultaneously, which is why you have both 1.8.0.x, 1.8.1, and 1.9 builds on the FTP server.

ahh makes sense now! thats why theres like 10 different builds in like 2000 different languages...i could never figure out the one that pertained to 1.5.0.X...

Also another problem is that I like to use to up and down arrow keys to go though pages.
However, now firefox put a text cursor on the all unedit-able text on the webpages, and therefore when I use the arrow keys the text cursor and jumping between the lines of text and screwing up the scrolling rate.
Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Hit F7, and stop ignoring dialogs that tell you you're entering caret browsing mode next time you accidentally hit F7

Oh it works perfectly!
I don't remember pressing F7, it must be some other people who have done it...
