Answer 1

You never could copy and paste images from a web browser to begin with. You ALWAYS have to save them first.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure you never could since I've been on the net for 20 years and have copied thousands of images and never once saw a copy command Forest. I have ALWAYS had to save them in EVERY browser I have ever used.

Answer 2

I'm using Firefox Version 3 and I can right-click an image (jpg, gif), select "copy image" and then paste it into some other application (word, paint, etc), with no problems.



Maybe what appears to be an image is actually a flash or something else, like a graphical link to an image somewhere else.



With all the copyright infringement on the internet, some HTML webpage programmers are starting to use more sophisticated coding to "hide" the source files from copying.



You can almost always make a screenshot and save that...

Answer 3

i won't be able to reproduction and paste directly to yahoo e-mails. The outdated version you may despite if it the extra modern-day ones the only way I even have controlled to function photographs is by utilising attaching them as a record.
