Copy-paste blocks in Firefox 3

When trying to copy and paste blocks (i.e. block selection) I get a confirm dialog for files hosted locally (okay) but no dialog and non-functional use for files hosted remotely.

I need a way to copy and paste pieces of a grid. It doesn't need to go through the clipboard since firefox seems to have such issues with that.

Thanks

The existing block selection functionality oriented on using clipboard as data storage and can't be used without it.

    You can access selection zone manually and get|set values directly through existing API
    The selected area can be accessed as
        grid._selectionArea
        grid._selectionArea.LeftTopRow
        grid._selectionArea.LeftTopCol
        grid._selectionArea.RightBottomRow
        grid._selectionArea.RightBottomCol
