    firefox has really started to annoy me at the moment, occasionally it just closes randomly without explanation, sometimes there appears to be a memory leak as it requires large amount of RAM to run it, and more recently its just not opening some web pages, its says "server not available", then you hit refresh and it loads.

    You got an up to date version Johnny? in the older versions there was memory leaks - fixed now though....

    BlueRiband, copy and pasting works for everyone else so it's obviously a problem on your end rather than the guys over at Mozilla..... tried rebooting? re-installing? maybe it's an extension you have installed. Try running in safe mode.


    Edit: BlueRiband you must of clicked on the wrong box or something as a different box pops up when you are (for example) going to paste into a text box.

    where exactly do you expect to paste? you can only paste into an input field of some kind - you get the above context menu when right-clicking on a page itself (rather than one somewhere, well, that you can paste into)

    general rule of thumb is "if it works in MSIE, it's not valid CSS"

    You mean the box model?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interne..._box_model_bug

    As you can tell from the name of the article, it is generally agreed that the fault lies with Internet Explorer. As the piccy shows, the problem is that Internet Explorer considers the width attribute to include the padding, whereas width should actually exclude padding.

    And everybody else has beaten me to posting about pasting!
