Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Did this help?

The left panel of the two seems to be a special editor (.monaco-editor) that comes with its own context menu with Copy and others.

  • dom.event.contextmenu.enabled = true

Copy in this special context menu only works if this pref is enabled.

  • dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
