On some pages, where it is relevant, there is a javascript Copy to Clipboard button located under the text boxes which contain command line examples, VBA macros or other contents. Pushing this button places text from text box above into Windows clipboard.
By default these javascript Copy to Clipboard buttons work perfectly on Internet Explorer and Opera browser. If Firefox or Mozilla is used, it is possible to select text and press Ctrl+C (or choose Copy from Edit menu). To enable these javascript Copy to Clipboard buttons in Firefox or Mozilla follow the guide.
To enable javascript Copy to Clipboard buttons on Firefox and Mozilla, enter the following line into browser address bar:
about:config
The list of preferences should open in browser window. Click right mouse button somewhere in active part of preference list window and choose New > Boolean option from context menu. Paste the following Preference name into the New boolean value window input box:
signed.applets.codebase_principal_support
Set boolean value to true for Firefox or enter true or 1 for Mozilla. Keep in mind that Preference names are case-sensitive.
Doing this simple operation enables using javascript Copy to Clipboard buttons on all pages of febooti website well-supplementing the navigation controls. This solution will also allow Mozilla and Firefox copying to clipboard from other websites that use similar javascripts.
Note that abovementioned Preferences should not be modified arbitrarily since, as rules of browser's behavior, they govern in detail the security, information processing and browsing style policies which are far beyond the scope of adding javascript Copy to Clipboard support to Firefox or Mozilla browsers. Preference changes via user interface usually take effect immediately, and are automatically saved to prefs.js in the user profile, remaining persistent between application sessions.
Alternatively, it is also possible to enable these javascript Copy to Clipboard buttons on Firefox and Mozilla by adding the following tag into prefs.js:
user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);
For Firefox prefs.js is usually located in path like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\
Firefox\
Profiles\
a21e303t.default\prefs.js
For Mozilla the similar yet slightly different path is used:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\
Profiles\
default\
sd616xtc.slt\prefs.js
Note that username in path is actual MS Windows username. Also profile name (i.e. a21e303t.default and sd616xtc.slt) varies on every computer.
