I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and I can no longer highlite and copy any URL address so that I can paste them somewhere. This is not good as I often will want to copy and paste a Url address and now I can't. This is not progress to me at all . No where was this covered in any of your many topics that you have to scroll thru in Help pages , so please advise. Thank you

Is that about copying the URL from the location bar or on a web page?


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

I have downloaded the Theme Penguin 3.9.7 as that is the background I had used in the older version of firefox and now it doesn't look anything like what it used to be ...at all... or for that matter what is shows what it is in the choices of the themes.. If I disable it , then I can highlite and copy a Url address but not if I have it enabled. I also can't even type in a URL address into the address bar at all. So does this mean I can't use a theme and have to just stay with the regular firefox theme? It will let me copy a URL but only if I use that theme.
