I have been using Firefox for quite a long time but this problem, i am facing just now. When i try to copy the url in firefox browser it wont get copied easily instantly. After highlighting and pressing ctrl+c for many times only it gets copied and i can post.

It wors fine with other browser i have; chrome,IE 10. What can be the reason? I have uninstalled and installed again but still the same problem.Even the browser is up to date.

You can file a bug report to FireFox. Alternatively right click , select "Copy Link Location".
Now the link address gets copied to clipboard.
You can paste (Ctrl + V) it to whichever application.
