Clipboard functions in Zoho Writer

Many users while accessing Zoho Writer from Firefox (mostly 1.5+) would have faced difficulty while using clipboard functions like Cut, Copy and Paste. While the keyboard shortcuts work fine, why exert stress on Ctrl+V while an alternative solution exists?

Firefox, for security reasons, disables Cut, Copy and Paste commands in the rich text editor. These settings can be changed:

(1) Visit your 'profile folder' and create a new file named 'user.js'. Here's how you can locate the profile folder for various Operating Systems.

(2) Add these four lines to the user.js file:

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowclipboard");

user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "https://www.zoho.com/docs/writer.html?");

user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");

user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");

(3) Save the file and restart Firefox.

This should solve the issue. Else, after saving the file, feed a a little bit of magic potion i.e. do a system restart and Clipboard functions will work in Firefox.
