Firefox 11 seems to disable Windows clipboard features
When Firefox is running in the background, Excel 2003 will no longer cut or copy cell information.

Hi,
Please check if this happens in Safe Mode.
Troubleshooting Extensions and Themes
Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. Options > Advanced. All these settings/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme or hardware acceleration is causing issues.

That solved the problem, thanks! Turns out this was caused by a Skype Click to Call extension, which I never use anyway. I disabled it and the clipboard works fine. I was not able to remove the extension because there was no remove button on the extension listing--not that I could find, anyway.
You are welcome :) You can try to move to another location or delete the Skype add-on inside the e(E)xtensions folder in either the Firefox installation folder or inside the Mozilla folder in %appdata% - type %appdata% in the Windows Run box (Windows key + R).
