Have you tried it also:
- in Firefox's safemode
- with a new clean profile
- with a Firefox installation in a new clean directory?

while I had tried a few different things the morning I reported it and the paste didn't work (though IE did work) NOW it works consistently

ria thank you for looking at this

I will close it out now, don't want to waste anyone's time further
