My problem is I want to use enhanced interface (wysiwyg editing) for this forum.
The problem I have is I cannot use the paste and copy function I get a bow that pops up and says javascript application you need to edit your mozilla config file. I went to mozilla and this is what they say to do.

user.js

This is the main preferences file for Firefox and is located in you profile folder. The file does not exist by default, so you need to create it before you can start adding your preferences.

Windows users: If you know how to create a file, just skip this section. Before you can create the file, you must make sure that you can see the file type extensions in Windows. Start Explorer (just click on the My Computer icon on your desktop) and select File > Tools > Folder Options.... Click the View tab and uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types option. Now, go to your profile folder and select File > New > Text Document. The default name New Text Document.txt should be displayed. Change the name to user.js (click Yes on the file type warning that appears).

Linux users: I assume that you know how to create a file if you're running Linux. Just create user.js in your profile folder.

It's also possible to edit the preferences normally stored in user.js by entering about:config in the address bar and press Enter. You will see a list of all available preferences in Firefox (many of them are derived from Mozilla and are not used but not yet removed). Double-click on a preference to change its value. The changes you make here will be immediately stored in prefs.js, which is a file automatically generated by Firefox.

I done that now what it still won't work. I also went to about:config but I don't know what I need to change there.
Can anyone give me some help?

 

I am not sure what you are trying to do. The editor function is fixed in this vBulletin application. You can use another editor and then copy and paste into this forum edit box but the editor you use will not provide the proper vBulletin codes for this forum. It will just produce a bunch of garbage code.

 

I'm tring yo use the enhanced interface (wysiwyg editing) that is found in the options in the usercp. I can't get the copy and paste to work with firefox.

 

I use Mozilla and those functions won't work either. Everything works fine in the standard editor, you just see the tags that control things which I kind of like. You can use the preview function to see your post close to how it will appear. You also have up to an hour to edit your post after you make it for changes. I went in and tried a couple of settings in my java preferences but they did not help. I need to set them back now. Someone might know what setting it takes to make it work but it is not obvious. The error message that is shown is real helpful... I am not a Mozilla or Firefox power user. I just make it work for what I need it to do. A number of things in programs and on websites are made just to function with IE. Mozilla and Firefox both claim to adhere to the standards but they don't and neither does IE, but then it is the de-facto "standard". The Webmaster here does not program things to work in Firefox/Mozilla either because it is not the dominant web browser. He sometimes makes things work in Opera tho.

 

Thanks for the effort. I will just stick with the standard for now.

 

That is what I use.
