Since you have the keys in reverse order, I'll start with the obvious: You are using Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-V to paste, right?

Secondly, I use FF frome time to time and the only time that has happened to me is because of a virus. What anti-virus/firewall do you use?

Firefox has only just been updated to 1.5.0.2.  I wonder if it is a bug that was introduced with that update?  Might be worth seeing if you can roll back to the previous version of Firefox, or post a bug report in the hope it will be fixed quickly.

thats why i came out here, hoping somebody know how to fix this thing.
IE is not my option.
could somebody know what is other web browser which is also has tab (same with fox)
because for me FF is very easy to use not like IE (when you have many windows it colappsing into 1)

Well, you can always use Slimbrowser until the Firefox issue is fixed.  Or see if you can download the previous version (1.5.0.1) of Firefox.

I have a copy of previous FF version. Installed it and the copy&paste problem continues the same.

Needing another browser with tabs I installed Opera just today and found it really good so far.
