Anyone noticed any issues with Firefox v 1.0.7 - the paste seems to stop working every once in a while.

Means I can't copy a URL and paste it into the address bar.

Cant say i've got that problem.... Does Ctrl-V work in word etc? (Just wondering if you have a dodgy Ctrl button..)

Yup works perfectly everywhere else....

In fact being a code monkey all I ever do all day is press CTL-C/CTL-V - well actually I tend to use SHIFT/CTL with INSERT/DEL as it only requires one hand....

Even stranger is that I can type something into notepad, cut/copy/paste to my heart's content using all of the above techniques, and god forbid even a mouse right click....

But even when I know there is stuff in the paste buffer, right clicking into the address bar of Firefox, the Paste option shows itself disabled.... and all the short cut keys don't do anything.

Very strange, guess it must be time for a reboot!
