Hello! Thank you for your response.

I changed browser and it works now, but i would like it to work on my first browser too.

Clearing the cache on my first browser (firefox) did nothing, was there a recent update of the website? Because it worked just fine before, and suddenly i couldn't select and copy/paste text yesterday.

Sorry to jump in, Wendigo. Have you checked your original browser for any pending updates? 

 

Other than that, you can restore it to its default settings and disable any browser plugins. The issue you're experiencing may be the result of a security setting or a plugin that you have installed on your browser.
