I am a former lab director  (The lab is still there without director) to
allow me to teach full time, but I am still very interested in what is going
on.

I just downloaded Firefox 3.5 (which automatically replaced my earlier
Firefox. There are some improvements, but there is one change I cannot
tolerate. I do a lot of bibliographical work. When I find an entry I do not
have, I copy and paste into a work file (usually Word Mac 2004). On the old
Firefox, this has been pasting as text. Now, all of a sudden, my clipboard
lays down on of the formatting from the source (including embedded links). I
find no way to correct this, from Firefox, from Word or from my OS. Is it
possible to make "text" my default destination setup?

I calculate that using the paste options clipboard appearing after every
paste will take me nearly 3 times as long as what I had before. Hope
computing is not returning to the elitist sport it used to be.

Mac OS10.4.11
