Known Glitches?
Version: 109.0.1
Can someone please confirm that these 2 glitches are 'known' and, further, will be fixed in the next update:
-The inability to 'copy and paste' 'certain' URLs from one URL field to another field from Firefox To Opera (but copying and pasting Opera to Firefox works fine).
-The inability to type a capital letter in the Craigslist search box. even though it can be typed in the URL field.
- Cookies have been cleared, the page has been refreshed, the browser has been closed (and re-opened), and the computer rebooted but the above issues remain.

You need to provide screenshot and url of the problem so those reading can verify the issue or replicate the problem.
I have already been crystal-clear with my specifics.
URL Examples: Craigslist and Opera.
Craigslist Search Box: Even with the Caps Lock on, letters are typed in lowercase only. However, cpital letters 'can' be typed in the FF URL box.
I can't think of a reason why you can't type lowercase letters. Does it work if you paste such text instead ?
Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.

Issues with the clipboard can be a problem with the integrity in case you run Firefox as administrator and made changes to the UAC settings.
Cor-el: You misread my post.
I cannot type 'capitals' in the Craigslist Vancouver (Vancouver, BC, Canada) search box using FF 'or' Opera.' My keyboard is functioning and, further, I can type capitals in the FF URL field and the Wikipedia search box but not on Craigslist.
Q: Also, Has the function always existed to 'copy and paste' from the browser (Firefox) of one URL field to a browser of another URL field (Opera) OR can URLS only be copied from URL to URL 'within' the same browser? (I 'copy and paste' between browsers so that I can have two 'favorites' lists active).
When I copy 'from FF to O,' Opera shows the search list (but it does not navigate directly to the website).

No problem here with typing Capitals in the search box.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.
Thanks for the confirmation.
