may be a completely separate issue but..

copy paste into firefox search box would not work for me initially, unless i did
the paste into something else and then paste into the search box.  i
finally determined that it was a matter of x11 primary selection vs
clipboard buffers and how the various apps/X utilized them.  I resolved
my issue by adding parcellite to my startup applications and under the
behavior tab on preferences turning on the top three check buttons under
Clipboards
