    On my site I have an input box that has a URL for users to copy and paste, for the input box I used the disabled attribute so that they can't accidentally delete the URL, etc. In all browsers it works just fine... except FireFox, in FireFox it won't allow me to copy and paste from the text box when it's disabled, how to I circumvent this problem?

    Don't use an input, use an anchor... that way right click, "copy link address"... or ctrl-click / middle click so the user can just open it in a new window/tab... or regular click to follow it -- after all, isn't that what URL's are for?

    instead of

    <input blabla disabled/>
    try use
    <input blablac disabled=disabled/>

    optionally you can use quotes if you'd like

    Should have ZERO impact on what the OP even asked...
