document.execCommand error post version 41 (A Funnel Cake Version of) 53.0.3

more options

So I'm on Windows 10.. Version 53.0.3 (but I received a FunnelCake Q1 2017 - v1.6 control mozilla101 -1.0) I wonder if somehow this is the issue. I know other 53.0.3 non-funnelcake versions work, including my laptop, and other browsers.

Because after version 41 this execCommand issue was supposed to be gone. I've talk to the JS developer and he of course told me I was crazy, and sure enough I was. Meaning it was my machine. Well, why is my machine special?

I'm received some odd version of Firefox, that apparently even after a reinstall, others have had trouble getting rid of related issues. At the same time Firefox claims that these 'FunnelCake' versions are identical. But I can prove that this version is missing support for this 'document.execCommand('cut'/'copy') and I receive the error when trying to call this command in JavaScript: That is this error message: '

"document.execCommand('cut'/'copy') was denied because it was not called from inside a short running user-generated event handler."

Here is a jsFiddler to test: https://jsfiddle.net/zenorocha/5kk0eysw/ That is if you can find a copy of the exact same: '53.0.3 FunnelCake OnBoarding Q1 2017 - v1.6 control mozilla 101 - 1.0' to test with.

Of course my FireFox claims to be 'up to date'.

Instead of that error, it is supposed not only 'Select', but also 'Copy' into the clipboard. Because of the error, the Fiddler page will only 'Select', and then error before 'Copy'.

Are you using that Funnel Cake version for any specific reason? Like helping Mozilla test whatever is currently being worked on in that special version? Might be better to use the full release version of Firefox 53.0.3 which is made for general release.

Done, I downloaded a new copy, and the funnelcake disappeared. So now I'm informing everyone, that the 'funnelcake' version is not identical, as 'stated'. Because that problem I pointed out, is now corrected.

I didn't get it for any special reason. I just rebuilt this machine recently. So at the time of FireFox Download that's what came. I've read, that there are problems trying to get rid of it.
