The AllowClipboard Helper extension will help you set up the necessary permissions.

The-ed-miester. Please excuse my ignorance, but I just don't understand what I'm supposed to do with this link. When I click on it I get more confused. I am a very uninformed user so please for me. Would you give me a little more step by step??

Use the keyboard if the buttons on the web page aren't working.

  • Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert
  • Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert
  • Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete

You need to add permissions to allow a website to access the clipboard if you want to use buttons on a toolbar on a web page.

You can install the AllowClipboard Helper extension to make it easier to manage those permissions.
