This is apparently rant day.
I am incredibly frustrated with Firefox's cut and paste. It's buggy and it doesn't reliably follow Windows conventions.
If I double-click on the address of a page to highlight it, and press Ctrl-C, it should be copied to the clipboard. But no, it isn't.
Right-click on the highlighted text, select Copy. Nope, still the clipboard is empty.
Go back to the previous page, right-click on the link with the URL I am trying to get, select Copy Link Location. Nope, that doesn't do it either.
It's basic stuff like this that should be automatic. When it's not, it's a major frustration.
Now I'm off to search Bugzilla to see if it's a known issue...
UPDATE: Yes it is. Seems I'm not the only one infuriated by it, either.
UPDATE 2: I should comment that despite the whining nature of this post, it is really terrific that such a great open source browser is available with an easy-to-browse open bug database!
