Firefix will not allow me to paste an image into my assignments in Blackboard.  The dialog box directs me to http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html.

The userpref command in the user.js file are precisely those specified, it simply doesn't work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter Blackboard as an instructor
2.Try to paste and image into any field
3.
Actual Results:  
Firefox opens a dialog box stating this action si not allowe and the OK button send you to the site  http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html.  The fix does not work.


Pasting images is not a security issue and this block should be removed.  As is, Firefox is nearly useless to me for running my course.
