Allow copy/paste in Firefox

I was working with Zen Cart today, the open source shopping cart application, and with HTMLArea enabled, tried to paste some placeholder text into a page. I received an error about security settings in Firefox not permitting standard clipboard functions for scripts. Funny, I haven't noticed this in the past with FCKeditor or TinyMCE. Anyway, the popup message included a button to visit a link at the Mozilla site that explained a work around. However, the instructions were obsolete. So, a thank you to Paolo Brocco for the post on his website that details the updated fix. I love Mozilla, but this out of date page really should be updated.
